As of 2018, Cole Stanton is ICP Construction’s Director of Design Services (DST). For 22 years prior, he served in leadership, technical and field sales roles for Fiberlock’s brands: products for remediation of asbestos, lead paint, mold, biohazard, and smoke/fire restoration.
As Director of DST, Cole is building a knowledge-driven science and support team for all of ICP’s community of specifiers and installers. Cole’s DST resources encompass not only the environmental and restoration products, but also coatings and chemicals for building envelope, natural stone, floor systems, air/vapor barriers, stains and wood preservatives, marine products, industrial maintenance, architectural design, and recreational surfaces.

Cole provides volunteer service as the Government Affairs Chair for the Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA). Current projects include development of the first international standard for Fire Damage Restoration.
He is a graduate of Boston College with a degree in Political Science and resides outside Boston.
Like the boy that cried wolf, some fire professionals have been hearing about the first-ever internationally accredited fire restoration standard for a long time – or what feels like a long time – and a yeah, call me when it’s done reaction is understandable. Yet it seems a larger group, a majority of fire damage contractors, aren’t even aware development is underway.
Coatings are an integral component of fire restoration, most crucially to prevent the recurrence of smoke odor. Coatings implemented post-fire are not finish paints, but can serve as primers while blocking stains and adhering to less-than-ideal surfaces.
It is a natural question. “Is there anything you can do to keep it from coming back?” The “it” is the mold, and the professional remediator or indoor environmental professional (IEP) is expected to have an answer that satisfies the common sense of the customer.
