Fiberon , a leading manufacturer of composite and PVC decking, railing, and fencing products, announces Sensibuilt(TM) PVC decking has been tested and approved by the
California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal-Fire) Office of the State Fire Marshal's strict building standards designed to reduce property losses during wildfires.
Aug 10, 2009
To protect valuable property investments and reduce life threatening fire risks, Cal-Fire has set up Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) standards that mandate the use of ignition-resistant construction materials and building practices. Their handbook is a guide for exterior building products that meet the strict California Building Code requirements introduced in 2007.
Sensibuilt PVC decking has additionally achieved a Class A Flame Spread Index (FSI) as tested under ASTM E84, one of the few decking products in
the category to achieve this highest rating.
"Part of Fiberon's commitment to products relevant to the marketplace
is fulfilling the need for decking that is durable beyond everyday wear
and tear," said Chris Beyer, Vice President of Marketing for Fiberon.
"While wild fires are a reality in many parts of our nation, California
has enacted the strictest standards, and we are pleased Sensibuilt is now
included in their WUI Building Materials Listing Program."
Sensibuilt is the only PVC deck material to carry a 10-year stain and
fade resistance warranty. Its unique, patent-pending Lumenite(TM) surface
provides superior protection against staining, fading and scratching, and
it includes an infrared heat reflecting component that makes it cooler
underfoot.
