FireZone Vanguard Fire Treatment for Natural Wood Finish
Description

FireZone Vanguard (formally known as FireZone Board & Batten Treatment) is a natural sustainable fire treatment for timber, providing a Group 1-S to plywood, timber battens and other solid wood interior linings. 

Collaborating with a timber manufacturer allows for the design and creation of beautiful, warm interiors using wood. Now Zone Architectural Products can add value to any timber design, both new and relcaimed, with certified fire protection, shipped to the project for convenient on-site installation.
