Скачать или смотреть Flame Spread or Fire Resistance? Know the Difference!

📢 Fire resistance vs. flame spread—what’s the difference? Understand how fire retardant treated wood (FRTW), PyroGuard™, and Exterior FireX™ are evaluated for code compliance and building safety.

In this TecTalk episode, Chris and Dr. Dave break down the key differences between these two important fire performance terms—explaining how flame spread ratings apply to PyroGuard™ and Exterior FireX™, and why FRTW is permitted in certain types of non-combustible construction.

🎯 Key Topics Covered in This Video:
✅ What does flame spread mean and how is it measured?
✅ How does fire resistance differ from flame spread?
✅ Why FRTW is evaluated for flame spread, not fire resistance.
✅ How FRTW can still be used in fire resistance-rated assemblies.
✅ The role of code compliance in FRTW use for Types I–IV construction.
