Application

FIRESTOP is an indispensable impregnation wherever wooden components need to be protected against the effects of fire. It is suitable for protecting wood not exposed to direct weathering, i.e. wood used indoors and under shelter. It can be used to protect rafter framings and other structural elements, stairs, joists, fireplace surrounds, roof soffit boards, etc. FIRESTOP can also be used for fire protection of wooden houses or facades, wooden acoustic screens, gazebos and woodsheds, provided they are coated with an additional layer protecting the wood impregnating agent from leaching – the use of a STAIN VARNISH is suggested.
