The top reason for wildfire spread is the flying embers which rapidly move from one area to another and ignite new fires. A major vulnerability to these fire embers are vents. Consequently, proper vent protection is absolutely essential. Highly recommended by architects is Vulcan’s Continuous Fire & Ember Safe Vent system. When the product’s corrosion-resistant, stainless steel ember mesh is exposed to embers, an intumescent coating on the honeycomb matrix expands, creating a protective fire wall together with the mesh. This technology enables the vent to remain open the vast majority of the time, only sealing shut in the presence of intense heat.
