Fireproofing Services for Builders in Vail, CO

Keep Your Projects Safe and Code-Compliant

As a builder, you know that meeting fire-safety codes isn’t just paperwork, it’s protecting lives and investments. At InsulVail, we’ve spent 25+ years helping Colorado contractors install proven fire-resistive systems that deliver confidence, durability, and peace of mind.

Why Fireproofing Matters

• Life Safety
  Fire-rated assemblies slow down flames and smoke, giving occupants more time to evacuate safely.
• Code Compliance
  Local and national codes require specific fire-resistance ratings for walls, floors, ceilings, and structural steel. We help you tick every box.
• Project Value
  Buildings with certified fire protection carry lower insurance premiums and higher resale value.

Our Fireproofing Solutions

1. Spray-Applied Fire-Resistive Materials (SFRM)
   – Lightweight cementitious or mineral-fiber sprays for steel beams and decks
2. Intumescent Coatings
   – Thin, paint-like formulas that expand under heat to insulate structural elements
3. Fire-Resistant Board Systems
   – Pre-manufactured gypsum or cement boards for walls, floors, and ceilings
4. Firestopping & Joint Seals
   – Certified fire-rated caulks, collars, and pillows to seal penetrations around pipes, cables, and ducts

Each system is selected based on your building’s design, fire-rating requirements, and aesthetic preferences.
