In a bid to mitigate the risk of fire on timber frame construction sites Arch Timber Protection has developed Vascol FR fire-retardant framing timbers.

Best suited to multi-storey construction projects, the fire-retardant frames have been fully tested by independent fire testing body Warrington Fire to demonstrate that the timbers possess significantly improved fire performance, allowing greater time to evacuate a site and helping to maintain the structural integrity of a building in the event of a fire. The treatment to the framing timbers also protects them against insect and fungal attack. The company says the timbers can be used in any timber frame building.
