Are panelized homes fireproof

Panelized homes are becoming increasingly popular in the construction industry. This is due to their affordability, energy efficiency, and quick construction time. But one of the most important questions people have about panelized homes is whether they are fireproof.

Panelized homes are not completely fireproof, but they are designed with several features that make them more resistant to fire than other types of construction. Solidhome’s Panelized homes feature extensive fire-resistant materials that can limit fires.

Fire-resistant wall panels

The composite wall panels of Solidhome’s Panelized homes use a large number of MGO materials with a fire resistance of more than 2 hours, which can meet the fire ratings of Australia, North America, and Europe.  MGO board does not burn, and is a poor conductor of heat does, not produce toxic off-gassing when burned at temperatures greater than 700 degrees, Stronger fire extinguishing performance than plywood, OSB.

Fire-resistant floor & roof

The floor of Solidhome adopts 15mm thickness high density fiber cement floor with good fire resistance. The high density fiber cement floor itself has a flame retardant function, and will not ignite other parts in the event of a fire. In addition to the steel roof deck, ROOF also uses MGO panels with fire-resistant walls for the ceiling to ensure the fire-resistant performance of the roof system.

Frame of Panelized homes

The main load-bearing structure of Panelized homes mostly adopts steel structure. Although the steel structure itself has thermal conductivity, it is treated with refractory during factory processing, or combined with rock wool board with high refractory performance, making it a refractory material.

Fire-resistant doors & windows

Solidhome’s Panelized homes selection of doors & windows with fire-proof function makes the key parts of the whole building more fire-resistant and makes fire less likely to happen. In addition, install smoke alarms and fire extinguishers indoors to ensure the safety of the house.

In conclusion, Panelized homes are not completely fireproof, but they are designed with several features that make them more resistant to fire than other types of construction and are manufactured with fire resistance in mind.
