Fireproofing Made Easy: 3 Steps to Implement Firewall Technology in your Study Room

Renovations are an exciting time to turn your spaces into something modern and aesthetic. But while we give due consideration to the interior design of the space, we often forget the main functional requirements of the materials. A study room is a space that will house the most valuable documents related to work, study material for school, electronic equipment like laptops or computers, and much more. It is important to fireproof the study room to ensure the security of valuable documents during a fire incident.

A study room has bookshelves, cabinets, a computer table, and more. A simple way to protect all interiors and prevent fire damage is using the game-changing CenturyPly plywood, enriched with Firewall Technology. Incorporating this revolutionary technology in your study room furniture is one of the best techniques to ensure the safety of your family and the important resources in the room.

Steps to Implement Firewall Technology

In 3 simple steps, you can use the Firewall Technology and fireproof your study room to prevent accidents.

●     Step 1: Select the Right Plywood

When revamping your home, selecting the correct plywood is of utmost importance. CenturyPly offers Firewall Technology in two collections - Architect Ply and Club Prime Plywood. The Firewall Technology will help your interiors in the following ways.

●      The nano-particles embedded in the polymer matrix of the plywood make it fire-retardant, which means the plywood delays the spread of fire and does not act as a medium or fuel for the burning or spread of the fire.

●      As soon as the source of the fire is removed, the plywood will self-extinguish, effectively putting out the fire itself.

●      The Firewall Technology ensures the plywood emits less smoke than other plywood to prevent suffocation of the occupants and gives them time to evacuate, avoiding asphyxiation.

●      When the plywood limits the fire, emits less smoke and self-extinguishes, it gives the occupant of the room and house crucial time to vacate the premises, call for help, and act quickly to ensure no further damage is done.

The Firewall Technology is added to the plywood during manufacturing at no extra cost. CenturyPly ensures all customers get plywood that looks after the safety of the residents without charging a single extra penny.

The Architect Ply and Club Prime plywood offer superior strength, durability and longevity by offering other features like antiviral, antibacterial, antimicrobial and antifungal properties, borer and termite resistance, boiling water proof and more. You should choose plywood of the right thickness to ensure long-lasting protection.

Due to being instilled in the cross-section of the plywood, the Firewall Technology lasts for centuries without any interruption in functionality. Moreover, the Architect Ply comes with a lifetime warranty, and the Club Prime plywood offers a 30-year warranty to vouch for its durability.

●     Step 2: Ensure Proper Installation

While the plywood is being installed, ensure the furniture's joints and edges are sealed properly. It will prevent any potential gaps or vulnerabilities where the fire could penetrate or spread. You can also consider applying fire-resistant coatings to further enhance the fireproofing qualities of the plywood. These sealants act as an additional barrier, reinforcing the protection provided by Firewall Technology.

●     Step 3: Practise Fire Safety

With the Firewall Technology, you can be sure the study room is secure and protected. But, you also need to use some fire safety practices to completely fireproof your study room. These are some things you can try:

●      Clear Pathways : Keep your study room free from clutter, ensuring the exit pathways are always clear. Do not block them since easy access to exits can significantly affect your ability to evacuate quickly and safely in the event of a fire.

●      Proper Storage : Always store flammable materials such as chemicals, solvents, and aerosol cans in designated areas away from your study room. Easily flammable things such as paper or books should be kept in covered or closed shelves.

●      Smoke Alarms and Fire Extinguishers : Install smoke alarms in your study room and ensure they are in good working condition. Place a fire extinguisher nearby, preferably within reach of your designated place of study. Familiarise yourself with the operation of the extinguisher and conduct regular maintenance checks to replace it when it expires.

●      Electrical Safety : Since the study room contains electrical appliances like the computer, CPU, printers and more, it is important to practise proper electrical safety measures. Avoid overloading electrical outlets, and use surge protectors to safeguard electronic devices from power surges.

Conclusion

A productive workspace is one where you are not plagued with worries and can work in peace. The Firewall Technology helps eliminate one less worry and makes your study room look good and stay functional for decades to come. With the CenturyPly Firewall Technology, you can ensure the safety and security of your work, valuable resources, as well as your family and home.
