Flameproofing Wood
FDNY code requires that all decorations and materials used for artistic enhancement be flameproofed (fireproofed). This code applies to all public buildings, which includes theaters, department stores, restaurants, bars, night clubs, public halls and hotels (main areas, not guest rooms). All wood used for aesthetic enhancement and decoration must be flame proofed (fire proofed) legally. Brooklyn Flameproofing provides the flame proofing service required by law, and is certified to issue NYC flameproofing affidavits upon completion of our flame proofing service - exactly what is needed to clear up any NYC flameproofing violations.
According to the FDNY, over 26,000 structural fires occurred in New York City in 2010 alone. In order to avoid incurring huge costs as a result of the damage caused by a fire, wood used in public areas should be fire proofed. When wood is flameproofed, it becomes resistant to spreading fire and also helps prevent new fires from starting. The risk to life and property in a structural fire can be significantly reduced by flame proofing wood in NYC.
Flame proofing wood can be done on- or off-site, although on-site is easier, as it limits the time and expense of removing and reinstalling the materials. Fire proofing can be done by either coating or soaking the wood in the fire retardant.
