Hello all,
We are locating a factory built commercial modular unit on a zero lot line condition. It's a bar/ Food unit.
CA Fire & Bldg. Code calls for a 1 hour rated enclosure and we have a tested (and approved) Intumescent coating that we are intending to coat the walls and roof surfaces (It's a converted and state approved, labeled shipping container BTW).
Question, If we coat the inside, that will prevent fire spread from our unit across the lot line, If we coat it on the outside, that will protect our unit from a fire on the adjacent lot.
Clearly, applying the coating on the inside is a much better option IMHO, The coating is encapsulated, protected from damage and weather, But I'd be interested to hear opinions on this?
Thanks. Jerry.
