Ensure Thermal Barriers are a Part Of Your Building’s Safety PlanThermal barriers are designed to delay the temperature rise of spray foam insulation during a fire and to further delay (or even prevent) the spray foam from being engulfed by fire. Fireproofing is a protective coating that applied over steel and metal. Its goal is similar to that of a thermal barrier, hence why the two services are often coupled together. As the recognized experts in insulation, Great Northern Insulation can provide the appropriate technical expertise required in selecting the right thermal barrier and fireproofing product for the job. This is a time for expert product knowledge and special installation experience – a time where product specifications and building code compliance is essential.
Warning! Improper or DIY fireproofing installation may lead to accidents, injury or improper installation leaving your building unsafe.
PFP is a fire protection methodology that is designed to contain a fire or to slow a spreading fire by combining firestopping and fireproofing systems. By employing firestopping, which includes fire-resistant materials, a building’s structure can be properly protected and securely safeguarded.
PFP is a fire protection methodology that is designed to contain a fire or to slow a spreading fire by combining firestopping and fireproofing systems. By employing firestopping, which includes fire-resistant materials, a building’s structure can be properly protected and securely safeguarded. When properly installed, Passive Fire Protection can protect the building’s structure, assets, and occupants. Most importantly, appropriate fireproofing will protect structural steel in a building. This allows for essential “egress” time for occupants and residents to safely exit.
Great Northern Insulation is recognized as a qualified application contractor for such products as AD Fire Protection Systems, Grace Monokote®, and Carboline® products. These are industry-standard fireproofing products (spray-applied) that are commonly used for interior structural steel applications. These products are designed to bond with steel and concrete and create a protective coating that is uniform, durable and long lasting.
All of the products offer performance and value.
Mineral Fiber FireproofingMineral fiber fireproofing products are well suited for structural steel columns, metal decking, and steel joists. This is an application that requires expertise so that fireproofing AND thermal resistance (R-Value) is provided simultaneously. When dealing with sidewall fire separations, particularly those that require very specific “hour” ratings, mineral fiber fireproofing is ideal. In addition to fire protection and insulating value, mineral fiber will also provide soundproofing.
Intumescent fireproof coatings are unique, as they are applied in “paint” form.
When the coating is directly exposed to fire, it swells and turns into a foam-like material
that will protect steel materials from damage. An intumescent fireproofing application
has aesthetic appeal – it’s a “decorative” coating that is perfect for exposed surfaces that need to look appealing. GNI installers routinely use these products in applications that require effective fire-protection for exposed structural steel. Great Northern Insulation provides one-source fireproofing services to satisfy high-demand project needs. The expert team at GNI has the technical know-how and project expertise to undertake a project start to finish. The team will help a client to select the right fireproofing product for the job, manage the entire installation process, and ensure that the application is up to the highest standard. Whether it’s an industrial or commercial project, clients can rest assured that professionals are on hand.
For companies choosing professional fire-protection for their building, this is already an astute decision and a wise investment. With the proper fireproofing product in place, burning can be effectively diminished, and often prevented. Great Northern Insulation belongs to the National Fireproofing Contractors Association – a group of professionals who provide Passive Fire Protection that’s quite often a prerequisite of the building code. More important, fireproofing can prevent a catastrophe.
“The staff at Great Northern insulation are very helpful and professional. The initial spray in the house was done in a timely manner and was installed perfectly. They later came back to remove the old insulation in our attic and again their staff was very courteous and professional. We are waiting to have the remaining insulation added to our attic and they have been very accommodating of our schedules. I would not hesitate to recommend. Thank you Tyler, Derek and Dylan for great work, especially in the attic through the heat.”

“Over the past several years, and two different houses, I have purchased just about every service that GNI sells. I just wanted to say that I have always been pleased with the people I have dealt with, their skills, professionalism, and dedication to doing the best job possible. It makes one aspect of home ownership less stressful!”
Bill Rathborne
“We live in an older home and recently had it insulated and air sealed by Great Northern Insulation. Since the work was completed, we've noticed a dramatic decrease in our heating and air conditioning bills, as well as much more comfort in our home. Dollar for dollar, proper insulation is an effective way to save energy.”
