Fire Protection For Rural Builds
Many of us watched in sadness and disbelief the devastation Fort McMurray experienced with the wild fires. How will this affect your plan or dreams of building a new home in rural areas or areas at risk of wild fires? It’s hard to say at this time, but there is no doubt that governments, jurisdictions and insurance companies will be discussing and looking to Implement new ideas and building strategies to make new homes less prone to wildfires.
Insurance companies could very well be asking the hard questions in regard to fire protection. In my experience customers building in rural areas with no fire hydrants or fire department close by face higher insurance costs. It is possible this insurance will increase even more with the recent wild fires.
So how can Pacific Homes help?
We can add a fire protection coating to the structures of new homes. This Low VOC, environmentally-friendly coating, reduces the flame spread by approximately 75% versus uncoated dimensional wood and plywood. Speaking with Insurance companies and explaining how this product will reduce and hinder fire spread will no doubt help in gaining insurance at less cost.
