Posted By S.Alder Hello all ,this is not a friday wind up. We are in the process of repainting all of our operators cabins and the contractors have also repainted the ceiling tiles. Does anyone out there know if this will negate the fire rating or if it is illeagal to paint fire rated tiles,any pointers to relevant legislation would also be helpful. Thanks
