Few architectural elements are more basic or important than columns. Columns support building loads, while imparting spaces with a human scale. When designing an enclosed steel and concrete parking garage in the City of Boston, we specified Fire Trol fireproof columns for their durability, fire resistance, and aesthetically pleasing smooth outer shell. The open floor plan garage, with a central row of bright-colored columns, makes Fire Trol columns a central feature and organizing element of the garage. Fire resistance and impact resistance were achieved with columns that visually energize the space.

We used Fire Trol fireproof columns in the main lobby spaces of the renovated Platt High School in Meriden, CT. They looked great and solved our fireproofing issues perfectly.

We were very happy with the Fire Trol Fireproof Columns we used at the Taconic High School Project. They eliminated the need for messy Intumescent Paint that would otherwise have been required on the exposed columns. The use of the Fire Trol Fireproof Columns allowed our schedule to be expedited, without having to go back to fireproof the columns and it resulted in cost efficiencies eliminating the need for expensive Intumescent Painting.
