THE RESEARCH
Scientifically proven defense.
Wildfire attacks a home with three types of heat: radiant, convective, and direct.
FireFoil™ is tested against all three.
Radiant heat research
of radiant heat blocked in tested assemblies
Radiant heat is the infrared energy that radiates off flames through the air. This is the intense heat you feel before fire ever reaches you and it can ignite a home from a distance.

Convective heat research
of convective heat blocked in tested assemblies
Convective heat is carried by hot air, smoke, and direct flame contact as the fire front sweeps across and around a structure.

Direct heat research
from direct heat (6 minutes)
Direct, or conductive heat, is transferred from embers and burning ash directly to the surface of the structure and surrounding debris.
