Southern California has seen more than its fair share of wildfires. From the brush-covered canyons of Malibu to hillside homes in the Palisades and Pasadena, fire risk has become a fact of life. As rebuilding efforts continue, fire safety is top of mind—and one of the most effective ways to protect your property starts with using smarter materials.
At Catalina Paints, we offer a curated selection of fire retardant coatings that help slow the spread of flames and reduce heat transfer. Whether you're building a new home, renovating an existing space, or meeting updated local fire codes, these coatings offer an added layer of protection without compromising on aesthetics.
Fire retardant paint is a specialty coating designed to inhibit the spread of flames and reduce heat transfer. While it won’t make a structure fireproof, it plays a vital role in improving fire safety.
These coatings are engineered to delay ignition, slow flame spread, and provide critical extra time for evacuation. They also help minimize property damage and support fire code compliance in California—making them a smart addition to homes and buildings in high-risk areas.
