Torrex Promise

Trusted by professionals and proven effective in the field, Torrex™ is able to assure performance, quality, reliability and durability in every project.

When we carry out a risk assessment of your communal area we will only specify the system that performs to your exact level of requirements. That means we’ll never over-specify or under-specify. The series offers three performance tiers to provide a cost effective solution matched to the risk we identify for your individual project after a full site assessment. This risk-based approach delivers the most flexible, cost-effective means of complying with the RRO and meeting the required Class 0 fire rating.

“To know that each individual project has been risk assessed on the basis of what is actually on the substrate, resulting in a cost value engineered specification for the project is a very important part of the decision making process. The Council needs to ensure it meets its obligations in a cost-effective manner, ensuring the future needs of the block are considered. That is why we use Tor Coatings”
