Concrete Solutions

Concrete is inherently non-combustible and exhibits excellent fire resistance. Its low thermal conductivity allows it to act as an effective fire barrier, protecting both structural integrity and occupants. Concrete does not burn or emit toxic fumes when exposed to fire, making it a preferred material for enhancing building safety in fire-prone areas. Concrete is highly rated for wildfire resilience due to its non-combustible properties, durability, and resistance to extreme heat. 

Research indicates that building homes with concrete or other fire-resistant materials offers enhanced safety compared to traditional wood or treated wood construction. Concrete structures are inherently non-combustible, providing superior fire resistance and reducing the risk of structural failure during fires. For instance, insulating concrete forms (ICFs) can achieve fire resistance ratings of four to six hours, significantly higher than typical wood-frame assemblies.
