It's National Wildfire Awareness Month, which makes it is the perfect time to give your roofing projects a fire-smart upgrade. Wildfires are getting hotter and faster, so the materials you choose make the difference between a close call and a catastrophe. Think super‑powered products like mineral wool insulation that can sit in a fire for hours and stay intact, and intumescent sealants that puff up like a marshmallow to choke off flames and airflow. Look for UL and FM fire ratings so you know your assemblies are truly ready for wildfire season, and do not hesitate to team up with manufacturers who can walk you through the right fire-safe designs.
