Fire-Resistant Board & Vermiculite Spray Solutions Installation Contractor in Dubai UAE

In the modern industrial and construction landscape, fire safety is no longer an afterthought-it’s a primary consideration in every engineering and architectural decision. Protek Contracting stands at the forefront of fire protection innovation, offering cutting-edge Fire-Resistant Board & Vermiculite Spray Solutions Contracting Services in Dubai, UAE and Middle East, delivering robust solutions across all seven emirates: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah.

Introduction to Passive Fire Protection

Passive fire protection (PFP) plays a critical role in limiting the spread of fire, maintaining structural integrity, and providing additional time for evacuation and emergency response. Among the most effective passive fire protection systems are fire-resistant boards and vermiculite spray coatings, which together provide comprehensive thermal insulation and fire-resistance across a variety of industrial, commercial, and infrastructure applications.

Whether for high-rise buildings in Dubai, petrochemical plants in Abu Dhabi, or marine facilities in Fujairah, Protek’s tailored solutions ensure compliance with international fire codes and regional safety mandates.

What Are Fire-Resistant Boards?

Fire-resistant boards are non-combustible, reinforced insulation panels made from materials such as calcium silicate, gypsum, or mineral-based composites. These boards are engineered to:

  • Prevent flame spread
  • Maintain structural integrity under high temperatures
  • Protect equipment, ducts, cables, and structural steel

Protek Contracting installs premium-quality fire-resistant boards that are certified for up to 240 minutes of fire resistance. Our projects in Sharjah, Ajman, and Umm Al Quwain commonly deploy these boards in data centers, substations, and commercial towers.

What Is Vermiculite Spray Coating?

Vermiculite spray is a cementitious or gypsum-based fireproofing material applied in wet form onto surfaces like steel structures, walls, ceilings, ducts, and bulkheads. Once cured, it forms a durable, fire-retardant coating that expands under heat to protect the substrate.

This solution is ideal for:

  • Structural steel fireproofing
  • Pipe and duct enclosures
  • Marine fire zones
  • Tunnel linings and cable trays

Protek has executed vermiculite spray insulation across power stations in Ras Al Khaimah, oil & gas refineries in Abu Dhabi, and logistics hubs in Dubai.

Installation Methodology

Step 1: Site Analysis

Our fire engineers perform structural evaluations, material compatibility checks, and determine fire compartmentation needs in locations across Dubai, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi.

Step 2: Material Selection

We select the optimal fire-resistant board thickness or vermiculite spray formulation based on temperature ratings and application area.

Step 3: Surface Preparation

Steel, concrete, and wall surfaces are prepped to ensure bonding and compatibility, especially in high-humidity zones such as Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah.

Step 4: Application & Installation

  • Fire boards are fixed using galvanized anchors, mesh, and fire-rated sealants
  • Vermiculite spray is applied using airless spray machines to uniform thickness

Step 5: Inspection and Compliance Testing

All installations are tested for adhesion, thickness, and integrity before handover.
