Fire Rated Vents offers a unique patented solution that stops both embers and fire from entering your home. They are ember-resistant vents, designed to stop embers from entering your home before the fire arrives. Wildfires and bush fires generate ember storms which spread the fire ahead of the actual front of the fire.

Your house can be in danger even if you are not directly in the path of the fire.  All dwellings located in Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) areas should be equipped with ventilation systems capable of resisting the ingress of embers, greatly reducing the risks associated with wildfires. Single-family and multifamily structures use open ventilation to cool attic and crawl spaces, so it is paramount that those vents are fire-rated. Standard vents cannot stop embers. Only products specifically designed and tested for fire/ember resistance can be used in WUI areas.

This is why flame- and ember-resistant vents are now a part of building code requirements in Canada and beyond.

All Fire Rated Vents comply with the new AB38 legislation, which requires home hardening measures to be implemented in fire hazard zone.
