How Does Fire Retardant Plywood Keep My Home Safe From Fire

Fire accidents never knock before happening, they can happen anywhere. The least you can do is have proactive measures, so you can have enough time till firefighters come and control the situation. Fire safety in buildings has become a topic of concern in most places, as people are more aware of flame spreading, toxic gas emissions, and fire penetration in furniture. It is important to take measures for fire prevention. Right choices make big difference, and one of the choices that help in preventing future losses in a residential fire accident is the choice of plywood.

So, if you are designing or renovating a property, and want to enhance the safety of the property, selecting fire-retardant plywood is the best choice. You won’t believe us when we say that fire-retardant plywood can save your life. Let us prove you wrong here.

What is Fire-Retardant Plywood?
Wood is not naturally resistant to fire, which makes it prey to fire accidents. Fireproof plywood has become the need of the hour owing to multiple accidents happening due to fire outbreaks in the recent past. We all know that a tiny spark or an electrical short circuit can blow up the whole house in minutes. Since plywood is used in every part of the house and is a great driver of fire, fireproof plywood is a great option to stop disaster.

Infused with chemicals, Bhutan Tuff’s Fire Guard plywood delays flame penetration for more than 50 minutes. Unlike normal plywood, it won’t burn easily and won’t conduct heat in the event of a fire. Due to its inability to burn easily, it stops the spread of the flame instead of succumbing to it.

Benefits of choosing a Fire retardant plywood

Delayed Inflammability
  An unfortunate event like a fire accident leaves behind aftereffects which are remorseful and may lead to extreme trauma and loss. Plywood is just like wood, which can catch fire easily. But, with fire-retardant plywood, you get seasoned hardwood that is chemically treated. Along with chemicals, this plywood has high-quality resin that doesn’t allow the flame to penetrate. This helps in keeping a check on the spread, hence giving ample time to evacuate your dear ones.

Gives Ample Time for Evacuation
 Fire can bring down a structure into a pile of ash within hours. This sometimes doesn’t even give ample time to escape or evacuate your loved ones. To solve this problem, we have manufactured plywood that can resist flame penetration for up to 50 minutes. Which is the highest compared to other plywood in the market. Moreover, it does not produce toxic fumes or black smoke, which hinders the evacuation process. The added minutes are just like the silver lining in a hazardous incident such as a fire accident.

Low Smoke Generation
When wood is burnt, it produces a heavy amount of toxic fumes and harmful gases which cause suffocation in case of a fire accident. The fumes can cause asphyxiation among people who are trapped inside. This is why, fire retardant plywood is manufactured in a way that does not allow the production of smoke during burning, or has low smoke generation. It makes evacuation easier in dire situations and can save people or animals from getting trapped in heavy smoke.

There are many plywood manufacturers in India who produce fire-retardant plywood. The benefits of fire-retardant plywood are not just statements, but facts that come with a valid certification. Bhutan Tuff Fire Guard is the result of genius technology which is implemented following IS and BS standards. Our fire-retardant plywood is made using nano-engineered particles increasing the product’s resistance to fire. The adhesion is excellent and the moisture absorption is negligible, keeping the ply intact and durable. So, before any mishap happens, get your home fire protected with Bhutan Tuff’s fire-retardant plywood.
