Exterior Fire-X is pressure-impregnated fire-retardant lumber and plywood that provides tested fire protection for applications directly exposed to the weather or high humidity, outdoors as well as indoors.

Exterior Fire-X lumber and plywood offers the workability and versatility of wood as well as the fire-safety and insurance advantages of non-combustible materials.

Balconies and exterior walls constructed of Exterior Fire-X may be considered non-combustible by some building codes.

Exterior Fire-X siding is often accepted as an alternate for non-combustible siding, and exterior stairs constructed of Exterior Fire-X are generally accepted as non-combustible.

Exterior Fire-X treated roof systems including roof supports, trusses, and decking may often be substituted for non-combustible construction in open warehouses, storage sheds, and other structures with no penalty in the insurance rates or the building code classification of the structure.

Exterior Fire-X lumber and scaffold plank for temporary structures in construction projects may help reduce the cost of builders risk insurance.

Each piece of Exterior Fire-X lumber and plywood bears the Underwriters Laboratories label as required by building codes.

Exterior Fire-X Blue is color coded with a pressure-applied blue stain for easy identification. It has the same fire performance characteristics, ratings and approvals as Exterior Fire-X.
