Reasons Why You Should Go with Fire Retardant Plywood

On an average, house fires have killed 35 people everyday in the last six years between 2016-2022 according to data by NCRB (National Crimes Record Bureau). This proves that our homes are not immune to fire hazards. This also proves that the safety measures we adopt for our homes are not sufficient enough to mitigate fire outbreaks. We need something concrete, something really effective to delay the spread of fires and protect us from this impending danger. This is where a fire-retardant plywood comes into play as big commercial housing projects and residences are now paying heed to the issue of fire safety.

Fire-Retardant Plywood- A Shield Against Unprecedented Fire Incidences

A Fire-Retardant Plywood or FR Grade Plywood is treated with distinct fire-retardant chemicals during the manufacturing process that makes it more resistant to fires. This fireproof plywood is used in places where the potential or risks of catching fires are high. It is used for making the woodwork of kitchens for homes and restaurants and also in halls, public theatres and decor for offices. Given how fire-retardant plywood is multi-faceted in its usage, here are some unique features that make it a valuable addition to your homes.

Delay the Spread of Fire

When the fire-retardant plywood comes in direct touch with fire, a small coating of char appears on its surface. This char serves as an excellent insulator that prevents it from flaming up. Furthermore, this flame’s speed of travel  is reduced,thereby diminishing the rate of combustion. 

A Long Life Span Guaranteed

A fire-retardant plywood can stay durable for a long period of time. This is because during the time of manufacturing, this  plywood is made with certain chemicals that improves the quality of fire resistance. This makes the plywood susceptible to heat which in turn extends its lifespan in environments of extreme heat and humidity.

Comes with BWP (Boiling Waterproof Plywood) Properties

The fire-retardant plywood is multi-functional by nature. Not only does it protect the interiors, but also resists water and moisture. This is because many fire-retardant plywood is also Boiling Water Proof Plywood that finds its applications in the cabinets of kitchens and bathrooms. Apart from this, a fire-retardant plywood has low inflammability and low penetration when compared to any other regular plywood.
