Fire treatment for wood is a coating or spray applied to timber to make it harder to ignite and slow the spread of flames. It does not make wood fireproof.
Where fire treatment for wood is used
Timber beams, ceilings, panels, doors, furniture and structures such as pergolas and majlis roofs. See our fire retardant for wood page.
What to expect
- Surfaces are prepared before the treatment is applied by spray or brush.
- Clear and tinted finishes are available, so the look of the wood can often be kept. The result depends on the product and the wood.
- Treated wood still burns if exposed to a strong fire, but it ignites less easily and spreads flame more slowly.
