Single-Family
Fire Proofing Wood For Single-Family Construction
When single-family homes catch on fire, they’re at risk of not only burning down but spreading to adjacent homes. There is a better way to build that eliminates the possibility of catastrophic fire. BarrierTek reduces the possibility of devastation to community, property and personal safety caused by fire.
Our Single-Family Products
Our team of scientists and engineers have been helping developers just like you to prevent catastrophic fires since 2010. We’ve put in the time and resources required to create solutions that exceed fire code standards. All of our products are tested and independently certified.
Lumber
Treating each piece of dimensional lumber with BarrierTek before it reaches your site guarantees complete fire protection.
I-Joists
An untreated joist’s web burns through about 70% faster than its top and bottom chords, compromising its support.
Panels
Our OSB and plywood sheets have a patented factory-applied fire-retardant coating that doesn’t alter performance.
Your Customers Will Thank You
You care about the homes you build and the people that live in them. Which is why treating your projects with our single-family solutions is the right thing to do.

Homeowners with fire-treated homes enjoy these benefits:

Their house will never burn down completely
Cost Savings
A reduction in insurance premium is greater than the cost to treat²
