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 jurisdictional authorities, No-Burn®’s 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.  Additional advantages may include practical reductions in property lot lines, increasing the number of units per development and enhanced lean construction practices.  The product application can be carried out by certified applicators found within your current group of trades, thereby enhancing efficiencies and reducing costs.  Wood Gard Mih has no hidden costs and is a one-time investment.  Of course, any feature your buyer chooses could be a potential profit center for you.  Typically, you can anticipate a 10-30% mark-up based on the installed price per square foot.  Once the product is installed, documentation is captured in a national database.  This allows for benefits like insurance premium savings to be provided to 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 coatings and paints.  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 Mih is that the treatment will actually improve the residence’s overall sustainability by protecting it from the perils of fire and mold.  Finally, each and every home builder is interested in adding value to their home.  Contact your local No-Burn® product representative or certified installer for more information.  Remember, these products are a proactive approach to fire prevention and may be installed under your terms.  They can add value to your homeowners, provide additional profit to you, reduce the potential for mold-related claims and provide an economical method to display your commitment to enhancing residential fire protection through a method of your choosing.  Contact No-Burn®, Inc. or your local representative for more information.
