Fireproofing of wood<\/h1>\n

Wood cladding or structures are increasingly used<\/b> in the current construction model.<\/p>\n

The main reasons for this are: lower cost in its manufacture, it is one of the most environmentally friendly materials<\/b>, and its great capacity to insulate. Wood is one of the most used materials to achieve energy efficiency in buildings.<\/p>\n

In addition, contrary to what many people think, the reaction to fire of this material is similar or even better than that of other materials<\/b> used in construction, withstanding temperatures of 400 \u00baC when it is not in direct contact with the flame.<\/p>\n

But, despite this, wood is still a high combustion material when it comes into contact with fire, therefore, we must apply a passive fire protection treatment.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.3.2″ text_font=”|700|||||||” header_2_font=”Montserrat|500|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#fc4f00″ header_2_font_size=”23px” custom_margin=”66px||||false|false”]<\/p>\n

Why fireproof wood in structures or coatings?<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.3.2″ text_font=”Montserrat|300|||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”17px”]Fireproofing wood in coatings and structures allows us to use this material in any construction<\/b>, providing the necessary fire resistance and greater safety.<\/p>\n

The fireproofing of wood will allow the structure or coating to withstand high temperatures<\/b> and maintain its stability for a longer period of time, varying the resistance according to the thicknesses and the product applied.<\/p>\n

The fireproofing of wood in industrial facilities provides us with greater safety and also allows us to:<\/p>\n
