TRIED, TESTED AND TRUSTED FIRE PROTECTION FOR TIMBER

The effects of a fire can be devastating, destroying buildings and taking lives.

Timber continues to be a beautiful, sustainable and popular construction choice for new build projects and industrially applied fire retardant impregnation treatments provide real protection assurance in the event of a fire. The treated timber will be able to withstand fire attack for longer, allowing more time to escape to safety and for fire services to attend, giving specifiers, contractors and building occupants real assurance and peace of mind.

Lonza Wood Protection offers a choice of Tried, Tested and Trusted fire retardant impregnation treatments - DRICON for cladding and construction timbers and sheet material for interior applications and NON-COM Exterior for exterior cladding timbers.

These proven treatments are used on a wide range of construction projects in the UK every year. Once treated and installed the timbers have built-in fire protection that needs no further maintenance – the protection is there for the life of the timber.

Tried – Both DRICON and NON-COM Exterior are maintenance free fire treatments that are fit for purpose, backed with 40 years of commercial use and independent third party fire certification.

Tested – Lonza has invested in a wide range of independent tests covering varying species and thicknesses and will only treat timber where a full Classification Report has been provided - giving you complete peace of mind.

Trusted – DRICON is backed by extensive independent certification and is the only BBA certified fire retardant treatment for timber. In addition, it holds Wood Protection Association (WPA) Approved status.

Trusted – NON-COM Exterior is fully in line with the National House Building Council (NHBC) standards for external timber cladding. The treatment is also a WPA Approved status product. Treated timbers need no further protection in exterior situations throughout the life of the building.
