@ Renovator8....Please give us your opinion on how this is spam? This is simply to inform people of something that many are not aware of! There is no mention of a company product or company name! Obviously you know nothing about spamming or fire safety....I'm sure! But here's a little education on spamming which you should have read before you accuse someone of it....

Advertising includes:

1. Mentioning the name of the business, providing a link or phone number and/or asking others to contact you.

2. Linking to any page on your site, including informational pages or images.

3. Linking to a site that in turn links to your business.
Registering for an account and using your business name as your member name.

4. Posting under a pseudonym and then linking to your business.

Yeah, what the H would an architect know about fire safety!

Protective coatings have their place in home fire protection. As intumescent coatings, when allowed, over foam.

Otherwise,fireblocking and draftstopping are the main deterrents to slowing and starving fires within a house.

Unfortunately, these measures are often overlooked in renovations--the horrors I have seen over 40 years of selling, inspecting, renoing and building--and new construction in areas where third-party inspections are rare, such as in rural jurisdictions.

If only you people that speak out against little things like spamming would just do the same damn thing about all these Illegal's coming into the country.

@ worthy..You're exactly right! As a matter of fact, according to a recent paper published by researchers, making rural homes more resistant to fire is the best way to reduce the number of homes lost to wild-land fires. Even low-intensity fires from far away have produced fire ambers carried by the wind for miles that have burned unprotected houses down to the ground.

Protection against external fires is another topic. But it gives me an excuse to post this graphic photo of what such protection looks like.

Standard drywall provides excellent fire protection for the interior surfaces of a home. When exposed to a fire, water vapor is released which has the same cooling effect as intumescent paint. I can't imagine what material would benefit from a fire resistive or intumescent coating in a home unless it was exposed structural steel which is pretty rare in a home.

If you really want to protect people and property an active method like quick-response residential sprinklers is far more effective and practical than passive coatings. No matter how many things you make fire resistant there will always be plenty of fuel for a fire in a home.

The purpose of passive fire protection is to delay the spread of fire so the fire service can control it when they arrive. All passive protection will fail eventually and no one is going to paint their grandmother's mahogany table.

It must be painful to have your dream of being a fire protection consultant dashed but here's a photo to cheer you up.

Wow, that photo of "last house standing" is pretty darn amazing. I don't live in a fire area and don't plan on doing anything to my home but I'd sure like to learn more about whatever saved that home!
