HEM FIR FIRE RESISTANT DECKING: A SAFEGUARD AGAINST WILDFIRES IN CALIFORNIA

In the wake of the stringent fire safety codes sweeping across California and other western states, homeowners and builders are seeking decking solutions that prioritize safety without compromising aesthetics. Addressing this need, Mataverde introduces their latest innovation: Mataverde FR decking. Now available at our West Coast sales and distribution center, this decking marvel, crafted from thermally modified Hem Fir, meets and exceeds the new fire code requirements in California.

Navigating New Fire Safety Codes

Recent modifications in building codes, including the ICC (International Code Council), IRC, and IBC, have led to the demand for more flame-resistant wood decking options. The new regulations mandate an additional 20 minutes of flame resistance testing in various regions, particularly in high fire hazard zones like the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) areas. Mataverde ThermaWood FR Hem Fir Decking stands as a testament to compliance, having undergone rigorous evaluation by the ICC to meet these stringent requirements.

Meeting Fire Resistance Requirements

While regulations continue to evolve, it’s advisable to consult local authorities to ensure adherence to specific area requirements. Mataverde’s commitment to safety is further emphasized by individual labeling of every fire retardant decking board, ensuring easy identification and installation.

Aesthetic Appeal and Durability

Beyond its impressive fire resistance, Mataverde ThermaWood FR Hem Fir decking boasts a visual appeal reminiscent of Western Red Cedar. Its thermal modification enhances stability, durability, and color consistency, outperforming cedar and non-modified Hem Fir counterparts. Expect a charming blend of mixed grain and flat sawn Hemlock boards, showcasing natural mineral streaks and occasional knots, adding character to your outdoor spaces.
