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.
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.
