Whether it's the dry season in California or frigid winter in New England, one of the greatest threats to the safety of your home is fire, which can destroy homes from within or without. Wildfires can rapidly race through a property, destroying everything in its wake, or household products can spark flames that quickly proliferate and lead to property disaster. To prevent either scenario, FloodCo LLC, in Columbia Falls, MT, share this handy guide to fireproofing your property. 

A Guide to Fireproofing Your Home

Fireproof Borders

Houses that don’t have any fire-resistant materials around them are especially vulnerable to incoming wildfires. One way to fortify against outdoor fires is to install a fireproof barrier around your home. Examples include concrete driveways, gravel, and even certain fire-retardant plants.

Concrete Panels

Houses are susceptible to fire because the majority of them are mostly constructed from wood. An increasingly popular building material choice for fire-conscious contractors are concrete panels, which include fire-resistant foam that can often stop raging wildfires in their tracks before they can even get inside the home. 

Metal Window Frames

Another way to fireproof the outside of your home is with metal window frames. As an alternative to wooden frames, which burn easily, metal window frames can repulse fires before they infiltrate a home’s interior.
