  2.  The fire resistance laminated veneer lumber several times greater than ALL the other options of houses made of wood. This is due to the fact that the laminated veneer lumber is not having crevices and cracks. In fact, the fire resistance LVL better than fire resistance steel.

 

That’s why in Finland at sites with high risk of fire, use the LVL lumber as supporting pillars and girders. Unlike brick, foam blocks and concrete, lumber do not burn to the ground.

The mechanism of action

Have you a house of  Timber Frame Kitts? The fire-protection impregnations help you!

Fire protection treatment is applied to the surface of the wood. It is bound chemically to cellulose and lignin – the main components of wood. Thus, the surface layer of wood is modified and converted into not flammable material.

This layer prevents the access of oxygen to the wood and thus prevents the further spread of the flames.
