collectors – Promat offers engineering services
that fit your bespoke technical and commercial
requirements.
Our extensive experience, know-how and engineering capabilities
enable us to create a solution for any thermal and fireproofing
problem, no matter how simple or complex it might be.
Promat’s insulation solutions are thinner, lighter and more efficient,
whilst delivering life expectancy up to 25 years. Our integrated fire-
proofing systems are easy to install, require low maintenance, deliver
time-cost optimisation and offer the best protection.
