DISCLAIMER:
Fire Foil reflects most of the infrared heat that is generated by fire, and this infrared heat is the primary starter of fires in dwellings and vehicles near wildfires.  No warranties or guarantees are given or implied.  

Fire Foil is a reflective infrared heat shield designed to reduce the potential of a total loss of your home during a brush fire.   When wrapped around your home or building it reflects over 95% of the intense infrared heat which causes vertical walls to spontaneously combust.  In only 3 1/2 minutes , the heat from a surrounding fire can reach over 1100 degrees Fahrenheit.

This awesome picture was taken on August 6 with a digital camera in the Bitterroot National Forest
in Montana by John McColgan, a fire behavior analyst from Fairbanks, Alaska.

Fire requires three main ingredients:

• Fuel
• Heat
• Oxygen

Fire fighters trust their lives to a reflective surface, trust your home to Fire Foil.

FACT vs. FICTION
It is commonly thought that homes burn down due to flying embers or sparks on the roof.  A home with a wooden shake roof?  That sounds highly likey.   However, most roofing materials have a fire rating that can withstand such exposure. 

What then causes the fire?
Intense radiant heat moving at 186,000 miles per second (speed of light), traveling horizontally generated by a traveling wall of fire striking a vertical flammable surface.   Within minutes the exterior walls, curtains and furniture (behind windows) ignite. 

  Notice the only thing not burning in this photo is the roof. 

Typically, within minutes (depending on the absorbtivity of the surface), spontaneous combustion results and whatever is on the receiving end of the radiant heat quickly reaches its flash point and ignites.   It is not uncommon to have curtains inside the home spontaneously combust from intense infrared heat coming through the window.  Dual pane windows cannot withstand the intense heat and most often break allowing flames, sparks, smoke and heat into your home.  
Fire Foil effectively reflects this radiant heat source from flammable surfaces until such time the radiant heat subsides as the fire passes.  

Firefoil can be stapled, nailed or mechanically fastened to the exterior of your home quickly which may save it as the fire passes.

The cost to wrap a three bedroom home is appoximately $480.  

SUMMARY
We are not fire experts.  We are however experts at understanding the movement, effects, sources and problems caused by radiant heat.  We have learned that there are only two ways to limit the effects of infrared heat:
1)  Absorb it and deal with the heat gain
2) Reflect it and change the direction
Changing the the direction of infrared heat at the surface of your home into one that is highly reflective is the best insurance against losing your home to fire.
