Mataverde SaferWood Fire Retardant Treated Lumber Advantages

When it comes to Fire Retardant Treated Wood (FRTW), you might be wondering, "Aren’t all fire-resistant wood treatment options the same?" The short answer is, No. But the differences are crucial to know.

Compare typical fire retardant surface treatments to Thermex-FR:

Surface Only Fire-Retardant Wood Treatments

Most fire-retardant treatments only coat the surface, offering limited protection. Surface treatments will wash or ‘shed’ off. Most surface treatments contain harsh chemicals, which means working with treated lumber requires safety precautions. 

FRTW (Fire-Retardant Treated Wood) Penetrating Treatment

Lumber labeled “FRTW” indicates it has been treated at the factory under pressure, penetrating the fire retardant deep into the wood material. This method provides longer lasting and more thorough protection of the wood. Mataverde SaferWood is an FRTW labeled lumber treated with Thermex-FR, a leader in innovative wood fire retardant treatment. 

Keep in mind that different species respond differently to fire retardant wood treatments. Softwoods like Pine, Hemlock, and Douglas Fir tend to absorb the treatment more effectively than hardwoods, which are less porous. Thermally modified softwoods like ThermaWood FR are also excellent candidates for this type of protection.

The Thermex-FR Fire-Retardant Wood Treatment Advantage

Mataverde SaferWood with Thermex-FR:

• is a proprietary, non-toxic, and non-leaching formulation.

• a one-time factory treatment that is permanent, penetrating to the cellular level of the wood.

• is non-corrosive and very resistant to decay and insect infestation.

This is where Mataverde SaferWood with Thermex-FR truly shines; Thermex-FR is recognized as a top-tier example of effective FRTW. It is a permanent, non-toxic, ignition resistant, fire-retardant treatment that penetrates to the wood cellular level,  and will not wash or shed off. Plus, because it uses no toxic chemicals, Mataverde SaferWood is sustainable and recyclable.
