When fire codes call for fire-rated assemblies, D-Blaze® Fire-Retardant Treated Wood (FRTW) delivers powerful performance, verified safety, and sustainable certifications. Whether you're working on multifamily housing, light commercial, or institutional buildings, D-Blaze helps ensure your design is safe, code-compliant, and environmentally responsible.
Fire Code Ready – Where It Counts Most
D-Blaze is designed for use in interior, dry, and protected applications and is approved for:
