Hi - We're doing large castle, and plan to construct the castle towers, walls of 2x4 and 2x6 framing, with styrofoam carved to look like stone.
We have a fire inspector who is EXTREMELY stringent with use of various materials. Any suggestions of what we can/should do in order to use the material of choice - and still remain compliant. Anyone have similar experience? Suggestions for how to make fire inspector happy if we do this? |

There are coating materials available out there that can fireproof styrofoam. It is a thick paint that separates the foam from the flames sufficiently to make the barrier "fireproof." Once it is coated, you can paint the surface as normal. I have only seen it used once on a show I lit, so I didn't have anything to do with its application, but it passed muster.
There is a product made by Rosco called FlexCoat that is intended for this purpose. |
