DISCLAIMER:
Fire Foil reflects 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 when using this product for fire protection.
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 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.

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 before the exterior catches fire.
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 under $1,000. Keep in the garage. Stores forever. Staple it to the walls when a fire is expected.

SUMMARY
We are experts at understanding the movement, effects, sources and problems caused by radiant heat. We have illustrated that there are only two ways to limit the effects of infrared heat as it relates to fire:
1) Absorb it and deal with the consequences of heat gain (spontaneous combustion)
2) Reflect it and change the direction
Changing the the direction of infrared heat at the surface of a building into one that is highly reflective is the best insurance against losing it to fire.
Fire foil is 50" wide
Fire Foil comes in rolls 120 feet long
Cost: $85 per roll plus shipping.
Typical 1500 square foot single level home requires six rolls.
