Our world needs better protection against our throwaway culture and the depletion of natural resources, particularly in the construction industry. As a specifier, your specifications significantly influence the durability and sustainability of building projects.

This Specified to Last Hub provides you with the resources and support needed to specify the optimal corrosion and passive fire protection for your structural steel projects, ensuring not only the integrity of the construction but also extending its lifespan.

Our range of high-performance protective coatings is designed to protect structural assets from weather and harsh conditions.

Our selection of intumescent coatings is designed to help steelwork maintain its load-bearing capacity in the event of a fire.
