Many building codes for commercial, institutional and industrial projects require Fire Retardant Treated (FRT) wood, a lumber product with chemicals added that do not support combustion and reduce smoke in fire situations. Fire retardant wood is increasingly being used in residential applications as well.
Even if a building code does not require FRT (Fire Retardant Treated) wood, many construction projects utilize this product to ensure safety for its occupants and the surrounding area. If a site does not have a sprinkler system, has highly flammable materials in the vicinity, or lacks access to other fire protective measures, fire retardant wood is a great option.
