WILDFIRE PROTECTION FOR YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS

Wrap your home in the shield firefighters trust.

FireShields is where you get FireFoil™, the same aluminized shielding that the US Forest Service and firefighters have trusted for 20+ years. Wrap your whole home for the strongest protection, or start with the base, where most homes are lost.

THE REALITY

Most homes are lost to embers, not flames.

A wildfire doesn't have to touch your house to destroy it. 
Up to 90% of homes lost in a wildfire are first ignited by embers, according to the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS). Wind-blown embers can travel more than a mile ahead of the fire and settle on and around your home.

What's possible

Protect what matters most.

For two decades, aluminized wraps have kept structures standing through wildfire, from historic cabins to the 2,000-year-old General Sherman sequoia. The same reflective shield turns back heat and keeps embers out.

  • 1-2 person deploy options
  • Wide rolls, fewer passes

03

Secure it against wind and evacuate

Fasten your wrap to your home and to the ground, then get to safety before the threat comes.

  • Seal seams and edges
  • Anchor against wind
  • Evacuate on official orders

  • Reflects up to 96% of radiant heat
  • Blocks embers
  • Leave with peace of mind

The proof

It works.

FireShields is the same aluminized shield the US Forest Service and wildland firefighters have used to protect structures for more than 20 years.

Independent research with the USDA Forest Service put wrapped structures directly in the path of real wildfire. They survived. Unprotected structures a few feet away did not.

During a 2019 test, the USDA Forest service tested both wrapped and unwrapped structures. While the unwrapped structure is destroyed, The four wrapped structures survive largely unscathed.

Choose your coverage

Sized for your home.

Protection comes down to how much of your home you cover. A single pass around the base guards the zone where embers collect. A full wrap adds the walls and roof for the highest level of protection. And the wider the roll, the more you cover in one pass, so you spend less time deploying when minutes count.

Roll widths are nominal; allow ~2 to 4" trim tolerance for 15' and 20' widths.
