PRESENTATION:  Fire-Retardant-Treated Wood

Recent national code changes, combined with the current construction boom, have increased the number of applications and the demand for code-compliant, impregnated with chemicals, fire-retardant-treated wood (FRTW), respectively. Through an AIA-approved (HSW credit), interactive, basic lecture supported by short videos and historical case studies, participants will learn about:

  • the history of FRTW,
  • how it is produced,
  • how to identify code-compliant FRTW in the field, and
  • where FRTW can be used per IBC/NFPA, including the most recent 2018 code changes.

Participants will also learn about wildland-urban interface (WUI) applications via the 2018 IWUIC to increase structural fire resistance.
