Albi fireproofing systems have demonstrated effective performance in the field, under a wide range of extreme environments, on real-life installations worldwide for over forty years. During that time, exterior Albi Clad fireproofing has been proven safe, durable, and cost-effective.All Albi products are designed to meet virtually every relevant local, state, and regional building codes, including BOCA, SSBCA, and ICBO. Albi products are reviewed and accepted by the Cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York. Albi meets or exceeds international insurance requirements.
Albi DriClad is a revolutionary, new fiberboard fireproofing system that encloses structural steel. Comparable in price to soft fireproofing, DriClad goes on dry and requires no water or mixing, nor special staging or work-area encapsulation.
