About BarrierTek
Fire Protectants for Wood Structures
We’re specialists in fire. And we know wood. More specifically, our team of scientists and engineers are experts at stopping fires from starting in wood buildings. We work directly with builders, code officials and fire prevention officers to develop cost-effective fire-retardant treatments that exceed fire code requirements. BarrierTek has been at the forefront of developing fire protectants for wood structures since 2010.
