There is an ongoing desire to enhance confidence in timber frame as a secure and safe construction system. Fire risk management during the construction phase requires a matrix management approach. Flame retardant treatment protection of timber framing can provide an important, additional element to this management matrix.
Flame retardant treatment can help reduce the rate of flame spread on the treated timber. This allows more time for other risk management measures to be effective and so minimize the consequences of a fire. Flame retardant treatment does not stop wood from burning altogether and must not be relied upon as the sole means of managing fire risk on timber frame construction sites.
Flame retardant treated wood products have been sold in the UK for years and the market is well established. The traditional flame retardant market is based on the use of high pressure impregnation processes, followed by kiln drying prior to use.
PROTIM Frameguard® is an integrated process that offers an economical approach, providing the benefit of flame retardant protection for wood products during construction and long lasting preservative protection.
