I'm looking for a listed, 1-hour spray applied finish, for a wood roof deck in a III-B, I-2 occupancy
 
Re: 1-hour finish

Most of the manufacturer's information is very misleading. "1-hour rating" gets thrown around alot, but it doesn't necessarily give you a 1-hour assembly, and probably won't if it's intumescent paint on wood. Most of the time coatings are "approved" by a 1-hour flame spread test, but not a true fire-rated assembly test.
 
Re: 1-hour finish

up to the AHJ to approve; there are intumescent products out there.. and with historic structures, we really need to do a lot of research. (OK.. the structures have been there for 200 years, but now, because they are remodeling, they need to fire rate)..

Kilitact,

It's about time you got here. Glad you made it. :)

Are you trying to put a 1 hour surface on the roof top or are you trying to protect the underside of the decking from an interior fire?

I am trying to understand the purpose of the protection. What Code section are you referencing?
 
Re: 1-hour finish

thanks for the response; Table 601 footnote C, requires 1-hour protection if less than 20 foot. hey UB, thanks for the howdy do-de.
