FRX® pressure treatment extends proven fire retardant performance to exterior applications directly exposed to weather. A durable and leach resistant Class A fire retardant, FRX® treatment reduces flame spread and smoke development in exposed structures.
Wood pressure treated with FRX® fire retardant is code-compliant and has been issued an evaluation report (ESR-1159) by International Code Council (ICC) Evaluation Services. It is suitable for permanent and temporary exterior construction such as decks, balconies, stairways, roof coverings, canopies and awnings, store fronts and facades, open-air roof systems, siding, molding, construction staging, scaffolding, and agricultural buildings and horse stalls.
FRX® wood combines the beauty and versatility of wood with the fire safety of non-combustible materials. Comprehensive quality control programs, conducted by third-party agencies, provide assurance that FRX® fire retardant chemical and wood are consistently produced to meet performance standards dictated by the model building codes.
With the threat of wildfire growing in rural and densely populated urban areas, FRX® wood, in combination with other “firewise” landscaping measures, offers homeowners increased security and peace of mind.
