FIRE RETARDANT PRESSURE TREATED CHANNEL-EX SAFERWOOD ADVANTAGE AT HOME BUILDING &
CONSTRUCTION FOR STRUCTURAL, DECORATIVE & BUIDING ENVELOPE PURPOSE:
1-Our highly durable fire protection wood products brings extra safety to the premium high end wood structures &
interior/exterior wood cladding, whether it is flame from inside, passing wild fire, or neighboring blaze. For
Example: Electrical Enclosure Mount/Electrical Room Housing or Electrical Panel backboard. Such prime fire
protection might also become important to precious heritage building restoration/historic building preservation
projects.
2- 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.
3-It broadens high quality wood buildings’ layout options under fire code-legal construction which are otherwise
often constrained by mandated use of bland gypsum board based structural panels.
4-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.
5-Life time Exterior use Channel-Ex Saferwood is one of the most enduring, reliable FR treated wood products in
the world.
6-At certain high fire risk regions or conditions, it might enable premium options of genuine wood building
envelope, outside or garden structures by meeting/exceeding building code fire safety regulations where Fire
Retardant wood minimizes its risk of igniting fire in the dry weather. For example:
● Western Red Cedar 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.
