FIRE RETARDANT PRESSURE TREATED CHANNEL-EX SAFERWOOD ADVANTAGE FOR RESIDENTIAL
CONSTRUCTION FOR STRUCTURAL, DECORATIVE & BUIDING ENVELOPE PURPOSE FOR FIRE
PROTECTION: Class A rated Channel-Ex Saferwood was tested to show no evidence of significant progressive
combustion minimum for 30mins at Steiner Tunnel Test(ASTM E84), after withstanding 12 week wetting-drying
weathering cycle.
1- Interior application rated Channel-Ex Saferwood excels in dependability compared to other same-priced Fire
Retardant(FR) treated wood products: they are often unable to handle even short term contact with
water/condensation/leak/high humidity state of post installation without significant risk of losing FR rating.
Similarly, FR Coated wood has zero or very limited chemical penetration to the cell structure that frequently requires
fire retardant coating re-application in various situations.
But Channel-Ex Saferwood removes the limitation of dry indoor storage requirement of such FR wood during the
building process up to 3 months. Our products’ superior chemical formula and bonding can safeguard against
mishaps or inconveniences during/after construction to increase operational efficiencies & save costs.
2-It broadens wood buildings’ layout options under fire code-legal construction which are otherwise often
constrained by mandated use of bland gypsum board based structural panels. This includes Electrical Enclosure
Mount/Electrical Room Housing or Main Electrical Panel backboard.
3-It might lead to reduction of insurance premium cost and elimination of building code dictated additional
system installment such as sprinkler & its water heating system, or extra firewalls in certain situations.
4-Life time Exterior use Channel-Ex Saferwood is one of the most enduring, reliable FR treated wood products
in the world: eg use for Agricultural Barns/farming storage/silos, agricultural poles, utility poles etc.
5-Although the local building code might not yet made it imperative, a use of highly durable fire protection building
material Channel-Ex Saferwood brings extra ignition safety to the wood structures & interior/exterior wood
cladding whether it is flame from inside, passing wild fire, or neighboring blaze. Such prime fire performance
might also become vital to precious heritage building restoration/historic building preservation projects.
6-At certain high fire risk regions or conditions, it enables options of genuine wood building envelope, outside
or garden structures by meeting building code fire safety regulations where Fire Retardant wood is used
sufficiently mitigate its risk of igniting fire in the dry weather. For example:
● Gazebos, Arbours, Pergolas, Arches, Outdoor Sauna Room
● Lattice Fencing, Porch/Decking Balustrades, Balcony Staircases
● Workshop Studio, Garages/Storage Sheds for lawnmowers/paints/fuel containers/wood shaving etc.
