250 Years of Flameproofing
← Lime Torching, used historically in the 1700s, involved the application of a mixture of lime mortar, animal hair, and even manure to form a plaster-like coating for heavy wood beams and roof tiles to protect them. Lime plaster reflects heat and slows down fire and burn rate. An early but effective method of flameproofing.

In an age of computers, smart phones, AI, and an app for just about every task imaginable, not surprisingly, one of the best methods of protecting a property and controlling the spread of a fire isn’t computerized, isn’t automated, and doesn’t depend on sophisticated digital equipment. In fact, it may even be the very definition of low-tech! It is a process that is still done the same way it has been for over 250 years - with skilled workers manually applying flameproofing products to fabrics and surfaces to protect them. Oh, the equipment and application may be a little more sophisticated, the chemicals and materials may be a little more effective, and the processes may have a changed some over the years… but the concept of applying a Finishing Agent (Fire Retardant) to a soft or hard surface to protect it from fire hasn’t changed at all. When it’s all said and done, the quality of the job and the effectiveness of the flameproofing still comes down to the good old fashion skilled worker, applying his or her professionalism, knowledge, and pride, to get the job done right. Flameproofing is a service TRG provides, and in our humble opinion, we do it better than anyone else in NYC!
Signed, stamped and notarized Flameproofing Certificates and the final service report are provided within 24 hours of final testing.
