Redwood siding gets a boost
Allweather Wood is launching a new product line that improves upon the safety and durability of redwood siding.
The new product line is a Class A Fire Retardant Treated Redwood Siding.
Allweather Wood, the manufacturer and distributor of the redwood siding profiles, explained the product is treated with the Exterior Fire-X fire retardant formulation from Hoover Treated Wood Products.
The treatment process gives the wood a Class A fire rating, a step above the Class B designation that typical redwood siding receives naturally, with no treatment.
“This treatment ensures that your siding not only retains the natural beauty of redwood but also offers enhanced safety and fire protection,” the company says. “Designed for exterior applications, our fire-retardant-treated redwood meets the highest standards for durability and performance, especially in wildfire-prone areas.”
The product is launching throughout Allweather Wood’s central and southwest sales regions — California, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, South Dakota, and Wyoming.
The company says the ability of the product to meet Class A requirements is a market advantage, especially as some municipalities step up their codes from Class B to Class A in efforts to mitigate damage from fires.
Allweather Wood operates six treating plants in California, Colorado, Oregon, Utah and Washington; three distribution centers in California and Hawaii; and remanufacturing and fencing plants in California.
