Few residential building codes require a class A fire rating. Yet some consumers want the additional peace of mind that fire retardant products can provide.
Always check with your local building codes. A Class Fire Rating is required for most commercial buildings. It is not generally required for residential buildings.
Fire-rated polyurethane foam products, unlike those coated with a fire retardant, have fire retardant properties throughout the beam.
In independent laboratory testing, once the ignition flame was removed, the fire-rated polyurethane foam did not continue to flame.
Fire retardant Flame Seal® coatings blister and bubble when touched by fire. This bubbling action functions as a buffer between our beams and the fire.
Flame Seal is a non-toxic, water-based, fire retardant coating that’s available on our Rustic, Raised Grain and Rough Sawn beams for added protection.
