Game-Changer for Safety Against Unwanted Fires at Home: Firewall Technology
Everybody loves beautiful and robust wooden furniture. But a
common concern with them is the wooden furniture acting as a source of fire
spreading during any fire accident. So when your dream furniture is made out of
plywood, don’t let your fear stop you.
You can use the CenturyPly plywood sheets with firewall
technology. The technology ascertains that you and your family will be safe
during any unwanted fire accident. Moreover, the firewall
technology is unique to CenturyPly and cannot be
found in any other plywood.

What
is Firewall Technology?
Firewall technology created by
CenturyPly is known for its reliability as a fire retardant. A considerable
number of CenturyPly plywood sheets have the feature of firewall technology. And they
are created especially keeping in mind that they prove beneficial to you in any
unfortunate occurrence. But what does it do?
The firewall technology detains the fire from spreading and does
not operate as a medium for spreading the fire. Generally, with wood, the fire
spreads faster. However, this will be different with plywood with firewall
technology. Since it delays the spread of fire, you get enough time to get your
family members to a safe position and call for the fire brigade, ambulance, and
any other first responders you may need to call.
Once the source of fire is removed, the firewall technology
within the plywood will self-extinguish itself. In the meantime, it causes less
smoke and will protect you from succumbing to any suffocation.
How
Does Firewall Technology Help?
There are many ways in which firewall technology helps during a
devastating incident. Unlike other plywood sheets, it plays a role in
self-extinguishing the fire that may have caught onto the surface of the
plywood. But it is merely one way that technology helps you. The variety of
ways in which it proves useful include the following:
● Slow
Penetration of Fire
One of the most common reasons any fire incident worsens is the
quick and easy penetration of flames. Firewall technology is an excellent way
of slowing down the spread of fire. With the firewall technology, the plywood
will take approximately 50 minutes to penetrate the plywood sheet. It provides
you with some extra time to get you and your family out to safety and call all
your needed first responders.
During that period, you can also douse out the fire and remove
its source, preventing further damage. In some cases, houses have an increased
chance of getting damaged due to the fast spread of fire. But if you make
furniture out of a material that does not allow that rapid spread, you have a
better chance of saving your precious belongings.
● Low
Flammability
Flammability refers to the time that a plywood takes to catch
fire. Once an ordinary plywood catches fire, it can also start a series of
ignitions in your home around the plywood. It had been discovered by CenturyPly after rigorous tests that it takes approximately 35
minutes to spread flames on the surface of a plywood with firewall technology.
Comparatively, regular plywood will catch and spread fire faster. It means that
firewall technology is much more effective when it comes to being a fire
retardant for you and your family.
Moreover, once you have removed the source of the fire, the
firewall technology in your plywood will put out the fire by itself. Low
flammability helps give you more time to have a safe evacuation with your
family and belongings.
● No
Flaking
During any fire accident, if you try to put out the fire and are
concerned that adding water would damage the plywood, do not worry! Any plywood
with firewall technology does not absorb water from the atmosphere, even when
you douse the plywood with water. Since it does not absorb any water, it does
not become flaky or damaged due to the water.
Once the fire is put out, the furniture made out of plywood will
be safe from any damage caused to its surface and will maintain its physical
strength even for years.
● Low
Generation of Smoke
When there is a fire, there is a high chance of a lot of smoke
being generated along with releasing toxic gases that can be harmful to those
who inhale it. For such a case, the plywood of CenturyPly contains firewall
technology which uses certain chemicals that ensure the generation of less
smoke than any other ordinary plywood.
In
a Nutshell
The usefulness of firewall technology in plywood sheets is
significant. And it does not wear off with time. Even when the furniture has
already been in a fire incident, if it has not been damaged throughout, the
firewall technology will work in the future as long as its surface has not been
penetrated. In a world where you cannot predict any unfortunate incident,
firewall technology can be a saviour in times of need.
