Why use Woodsafe?
The Swedish building norms have been material-neutral and function-based since 1994. Over a period of more than 100 years, however, building codes banned the use of wood in tall buildings.
During this period, the use of wood was also banned as a lining and as cladding, as a result of which research, development and education lagged behind. In this context, everyone in the building sector has a responsibility for ensuring that wood catches up with those materials that during this period received state support for research, development and education.
EU: Wood is the future
What is more, Woodsafe fire-retardant wood meets the EU’s building directive, which actively recommends wood and wood-based materials as the construction materials of the future. More and more people are realising wood’s amazing properties and the scope for using it as a building material. Woodsafe protects wood from fire, but there are also other advantages to the product - see the list on the right here.
Woodsafe fire-protected wood makes it possible to use wood as a building material in all areas - as a construction material, as lining, glued laminated timber, panelling, decorative material and so on. With Woodsafe, wood can now be used even when the strictest of fire-safety regulations apply.
Woodsafe fire-protected wood meets fire-resistance requirements where all tests have been verified and certified by third-party production inspection. This also applies to smoke emissions, the environment and health, corrosion, hygroscopic properties and so on.
Woodsafe provides permanent fire-retardant protection
The fire-resistance treatment is permanent since it is carried out using a vacuum/pressure process that guarantees extremely high fire-resistance quality owing to the large quantity of retardant absorbed into the wood.
Wood impregnated with Dricon or Non-Com meets all applicable European fire-regulation requirements for wood, verified by an independent third-party inspection, and the product has been in use the world over for more than 30+ years now.
