VidaSpace has worked closely with Zone Architectural Products over recent years and have a number of successful, architecturally stunning projects with their intumescent coating under our belt.

This clear intumescent coating is suitable for application across almost the complete range we offer and the coating means our products can achieve a Group 1S rating. If you would like to check on individual products or would like to see samples with the coating applied please get in touch with our team and they can work with the team at Zone to get samples done for you.
