Biewer Dricon® Fire Retardant Treated Wood is chemically treated
to reduce the spread of flames and prevent a roof from collapsing
in the event of a fire.
Dricon
treatment helps the wood maintain its structural integ rity
by combining the flexibility and warmth of wood construction with
non-flammable safety. Dricon (FRTW) can be used in many commercial
and institutional buildings where building codes require non-combustible
materials.
Since
1981, Dricon FRT wood has performed as intended in countless structures
in the US, Canada, Europe and other areas around the world.
Biewer
Dricon material can be used in studs, trusses, nailing strips, and other
framing and plywood applications. Its distinctive pink
color makes it easily recognizable as Dricon FRT wood
for building crews and inspectors.
From
its beginning, Dricon FRT wood has been unique: its properties,
industry recognition and field performance have been superior to
competing products. Now Dricon wood comes with an unmatched double warranty.
In addition to its 40-year roof system warranty against heat degradation,
Dricon wood is also backed by a 40-year preservative warranty against
termite damage and fungal decay. Thats unbeatable 40/40 protection!
