Class A Fire-Rated Wood for Safer, Code-Compliant Builds

What Is Fire-Retardant Wood?

 Fire-retardant wood is lumber and plywood that has been pressure-treated with specialized chemicals to reduce flame spread and smoke development. This treatment allows the material to achieve a Class A fire rating, helping meet strict building codes and improving overall fire safety. 

Different Fire Rating Classes

Class A

Class A

Class A

 Class A materials offer the highest level of fire resistance, with the lowest flame spread and smoke development. This rating is typically required in wildfire-prone areas. 


  • Lowest flame spread 
  • Meets most building code requirements 
  • Ideal for WUI compliance 
  • Recommended for maximum protection

Class B

Class A

Class A

 Class B materials provide a moderate level of fire resistance. While they slow flame spread, they do not meet the same strict standards as Class A materials.

 

  • Medium flame spread
  • Suitable for some interior uses 
  • Not typically approved for WUI zones 

Class C

Class A

Class C

 Class C materials offer basic fire resistance and allow for higher flame spread compared to Class A and B. These are generally used where fire protection requirements are minimal. 


  • Highest flame spread 
  • Limited fire resistance 
  • Not suitable for high-risk areas
