The carbon layer acts as a natural barrier that slows combustion. This is valuable for facades and fences.
The charred surface reduces oxygen reaching deeper layers.
In dense neighborhoods, near forests, or rural properties.
Choose profile and finish combinations that meet the project requirements.
Charred wood is not fireproof, but it can be safer than untreated wood.
Designs must still comply with building codes and be coordinated with architects.
A bonus: this protective layer is aesthetic and avoids harsh chemicals.
Deeper charring can improve resistance, but structural integrity must be preserved.
For such projects, choose denser species and the right profile geometry.
Always align the solution with local regulations and fire safety requirements.
