Designing Exteriors with Resilience in Mind
Hot, dry stretches can increase regional wildfire risk. While no system is “fireproof,” material selection and detailing can improve your home’s resilience to embers and heat.
Upgrades That Make a Difference
Key measures we recommend:
- Class A-rated roofing systems with noncombustible underlayments
- Metal or synthetic tiles with tightly detailed ridge, eave, and penetration flashing
- Noncombustible siding like fibre cement or aluminum panels
- Metal mesh ember screens at vents and soffits to reduce intrusion
- Clean roof and gutter maintenance to remove dry debris
Details That Close the Gaps
We pay special attention to roof-to-wall intersections, gable ends, and attic ventilation. Properly screened, sealed, and flashed details help block ember entry and reduce ignition risks.
