We're back with with TecTalk Tuesday! Today we answer "Can you treat products other than lumber or plywood?" A: While most wood products can be treated, the focus is on frequently used construction materials such as construction-grade softwood lumber and plywood, including Douglas fir, Southern Pine, Spruce-Pine-Fir, Western Red Cedar, and Redwood. These materials, along with some engineered wood products like glulam and laminated veneer lumber, are commonly treated with fire retardants, with the latter now referenced in the 2024 building code under ASTM standards Are you enjoying what you're learning? Drop us a comment below and let us know what you'd like us to answer next! As always, visit our website at frtw.com to learn more, and check back next week for another TecTalk! . . . #FRTW #hoovertectalk #FAQ #education #learning #lumber #construction

We had an amazing time at the NFPA Conference & Expo and Technical Meeting in Orlando, FL. It was a wonderful opportunity to share insights and stay updated on the latest fire safety technology. We enjoyed connecting with fire safety professionals and discussing the benefits and applications of fire-retardant-treated wood (#FRTW). Looking forward to next year! #NFPA #NFPAConf24 #firesafety #orlandofl

Swipe to see the PyroGuard™ FRTW difference. In a burn test, we set flame to a batch of untreated wood versus our treated wood. The results leave no argument. Untreated wood is compromised immediately, leaving nothing but ash remaining. Our PyroGuard™ FRTW slows the spread of fire, is self extinguishing, and provides passive fire protection. . . . #FRTW #firesafety #fireprevention #lumber #sustainability #construction
