Fire Protection

Wildfires move fast. Your home’s most vulnerable spots—wood fences, decks, mulch beds, siding edges, and eaves—can ignite from embers long before flames arrive. [PRODUCT NAME] is a residential fire protection chemical designed to be applied to exterior surfaces and surrounding features to help reduce the chance of ignition from embers and radiant heat exposure during fire season.

Important: No product can make a home “fireproof.” Always follow local guidance, maintain defensible space, and follow evacuation orders.

Primary uses: pre-season prevention, high-risk red-flag days, and last-step prep when time allows.

What it does

[PRODUCT NAME] is applied as a protective layer that helps lower ignition likelihood on treated surfaces by creating a barrier that can slow heat transfer and reduce ember-to-surface ignition (when used as directed).

Why homeowners use it

  • Ember defense: Helps protect common ember-landing zones (edges, crevices, horizontal surfaces)

  • Radiant heat reduction: Adds a protective buffer on exposed exterior materials

  • Targeted application: Treat the areas that matter most—fast

  • Works with defensible space: Complements vegetation management and hardening upgrades

  • On-demand protection: Apply when risk is elevated (seasonal or event-based)

Where to apply around a home

Focus on ignition pathways—places embers collect and where fire can “ladder” to the structure.

High-priority zones

  • Eaves, vents, soffits (exterior surfaces only), and roof edges

  • Decks, stairs, railings, and underneath deck edges

  • Fences and gates (especially where they connect to the house)

  • Siding edges and trim near ground level

  • Outbuildings: sheds, garages, pergolas, patio structures

  • Combustible items: patio furniture, doormats, wood piles (best practice is to remove/relocate first)

Tip: If your property has a canyon, slope, or prevailing wind exposure, prioritize the windward and downslope sides.

How to use it (homeowner-friendly steps)

Always follow the label and SDS for your specific product. This is the general workflow most homeowners use:

  1. Prep the area: Remove leaves/needles, relocate combustibles, clear gutters if possible

  2. Protect what you don’t want treated: Cover electronics, sensitive finishes, and anything not listed as compatible

  3. Mix/prepare (if applicable): Follow label ratios exactly

  4. Apply evenly: Use a sprayer or recommended applicator to create a continuous protective layer

  5. Hit the “ember shelves”: horizontal surfaces, cracks, seams, fence tops, deck edges

  6. Re-check coverage: Touch up thin spots, missed corners, and transitions

  7. Reapply as needed: After heavy weather, time, or per label guidance

Application note: Always do a small test patch on painted or delicate surfaces.

Coverage and planning

Coverage depends on surface type, texture, porosity, and application thickness.

  • Smooth, sealed surfaces typically require less product

  • Rough/porous materials (unfinished wood, textured siding) typically require more

  • Priority treatment (eaves/decks/fence line) often delivers the best value vs. full-property blanket application

Quick planning idea: Measure the high-priority zones first (deck sq ft + fence linear ft + key siding sections), then choose a kit size.

Add your actual numbers here: “One [X]-gallon kit typically treats about [Y] sq ft under normal conditions (see label for exact guidance).”

Safety and handling

  • Use appropriate PPE (gloves/eye protection; respirator if recommended on label)

  • Avoid overspray onto plants, ponds, or pet areas unless label explicitly allows

  • Keep out of reach of children and pets

  • Store sealed, upright, and within the temperature range on the label

  • Review the SDS before use

Residential fire readiness pairs well with:

If you want the strongest overall risk reduction, combine chemical protection with proven home-hardening steps:

  • Clean gutters & roof valleys

  • Upgrade/maintain ember-resistant vents

  • Remove fine fuels within 0–5 ft of the home

  • Replace or reduce mulch right next to siding

  • Close gaps where embers can lodge (noncombustible sealing)
