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 integrity 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. That’s unbeatable 40/40 protection!
