Fire protection for wooden structures & types of materials

Ensuring the safety of fire hazardous areas is a top priority task. Fire risk is always present and it is necessary to minimize its occurrence and consequences.

Fire retardant coatings and impregnation agents are “lifesavers” in case of ignition (fire). They increase materials’ fire resistance rating, making them less susceptible to fire. These coatings form a protective layer, a complex chemical formula that effectively slows the spread of fire and renders more time for evacuation.

Fire and bio protective impregnation agents are the most common and inexpensive materials. They not only prevent wood from igniting, but also slow down the process of flame propagation. In addition, they are all-purpose and comprehensive means of protection of wooden structures for they protect them not only from fire but also from the effects of biological damage.

A less popular, but effective means is a fire-resistant varnish for wood. The advantages of this material are its efficacy and preservation of the natural appearance of the treated surface.The choice of one or another material shall be treated with responsibility, bearing in mind the fire resistance of the building and the location of wooden structures and elements as well as environmental conditions. In this case, it is better to trust specialists.
