KILN DRIED CHANNEL-EX SAFERWOOD ADVANTAGE WHEN MODULAR/RELOCATABLE STRUCTURES
REQUIRE FIRE RETARDANT QUALITY AT STRUCTURAL, DECORATIVE, BUIDING ENVELOPE,
FENCING/DECKING APPLICATIONS: Especially on remote locations or site configurations where water access
or firefighting is difficult due to geography, weather or temperature.
1- Interior application rated Channel-Ex Saferwood excels in dependability compared to other same-priced Fire
Retardant(FR) treated wood products: they are often unable to handle even short term contact with
water/condensation/leak/high humidity state of post installation without significant risk of losing FR rating.
Similarly, FR Coated wood has zero or very limited chemical penetration to the cell structure that frequently requires
fire retardant coating re-application in various situations.
But Channel-Ex Saferwood removes such limitations of dry indoor storage requirement during the module unit
manufacturing up to 3 months. Our superior chemical bonding safeguards against such inconveniences during/after
manufacturing or site delivery to increase operational efficiencies & save module production costs.
2- It brings further increased sustainability, flavor, and color in modular based remote First Nation or
resource communities of homes, accommodations, and offices: It might enable a use of wood in new areas
& broadens modular structure’s design options under fire code-legal construction which are otherwise often
constrained by mandated use of bland industrial look high energy building materials.
3-Life time Exterior use Channel-Ex Saferwood is one of the most enduring, reliable FR treated wood products in
the world.
4-It might enable options of installing wood building envelope, adding Western Red Cedar sauna house,
various amenity chalets, or wood fencing/lattice/decking by meeting building code where Exterior FR treated wood
sufficiently minimizes its risk of easily igniting fire in the dry weather.
5- It might reduce wood based prefabricated module’s fire insurance cost to the same level as all steel
construction and eliminating wood building code dictated system installment such as sprinkler & its water heating
system, or extra firewalls in certain situations.
Above 1 to 5 might also enable a code compliant use of wood in parts of module based Industrial Park Buildings,
Storage Barns, Remote Communities or Educational Facilities/Recreational Complexes:
● Isolated industrial operations such as Oil & Gas, Mining, Forestry & Logging, Fishery, as well as Military,
Outfitter Tourism etc.
● Indigenous, military, or resource community’s Public Halls/Recreation Centres/Hospitals Government
Buildings etc.
●Industrial district: Sawmilling & Woodworking, Metal processing, Commercial Kitchen, Distilleries, Food
Processing, Coating & Painting, Hot Work Facilities, & Commercial Refrigeration etc.

● Storages for such as food, hay, wood, certain minerals, pharmaceutical products, plastic as well as where
combustible pallets or items are stocked. Barns/Farm Buildings/Sheds.
