Applying No-Burn® Wood Gard to single or multifamily residences provides tremendous life safety value. Fire retardant coatings are a passive approach to fire protection, with no maintenance or required annual inspections. In addition, this treatment provides “Class A” fire resistance for the life of the structure, which represents the best third-party rating for materials in this category. No-Burn® products are easy to install and provide real advantages. Bottom line: products like Wood Gard give you additional time to get to safety- if the fire even starts in the first place- transferrable savings for current and future homeowners and sustainable building efficiencies. As a water-based fire protection product with low VOC’s, this treatment can contribute to the green aspects of your home.
There has been a lot of discussion about fire sprinklers in one and two family units, driven primarily by the fire service throughout the United States. Although No-Burn® treatments are not sprinklers, they provide a great deal of fire protection for a fraction of the cost. Recognized by national insurance providers and local Authorities Having Jurisdiction, No-Burn® products for residences are rated for Superior Construction providing insurance premium savings of up to 20%. Builders looking to demonstrate a commitment to enhancing the fire safety of their homes, without being forced to install fire sprinklers, may derive great benefit from the No-Burn® approach.
The product application can be carried out by certified applicators found within the builder’s current group of trades, thereby enhancing efficiencies and reducing your overall costs. Wood Gard has no hidden costs and is a one-time investment. Of course, any feature you choose adds cost, but in the end Wood Gard saves you money and gives you peace of mind. Once the product is installed, documentation is captured in a national database. This allows for benefits like insurance premium savings to be provided to you as the initial homeowner, as well as those that follow through a transfer of ownership.
Fire retardant coatings are formulated to comply with National Green Building Standards and Rating Systems (NGBS/ICC-700-2008). All No-Burn® products meet low VOC requirements for flat paints and coatings. Application is done by a certified installer with basic airless spray equipment, typically taking less than one full workday for a 2,500-3,000 square foot home. Another advantage to using No-Burn® Wood Gard is that the treatment will actually improve your home’s overall sustainability by protecting it from the perils of fire. Finally, each and every homeowner is interested in adding value to their home. Remember, these products are a proactive approach to fire prevention and may be installed under your terms. They add value to your home, reduce homeowner insurance premiums and give you peace of mind while providing an economical method to display your commitment to enhancing residential fire protection through a method of your choosing.
