Layers of Defense
Give your home the maximum protection against wildfire
Layer 1
Automated, Heat-Sensing External Sprinkler Systems
Wetline only uses copper and brass pipes, fittings and sprinkler heads above ground to help withstand the extreme heat, wind and harsh conditions created during a wildfire or brushfire. These materials do cost more than plastic (especially post-covid), but Wetline will not sacrifice quality in an area so important. Completely automated roof and perimeter sprinklers work even in extreme wind conditions by applying biodegradable Class-A fire suppressant mixed with water, soaking the property and helping to prevent ignition.
Biodegradable Class-A Fire Suppressant
One of the most important fire prevention tools in our arsenal:
It is an environmentally friendly fire extinguishing agent that cools 21 times faster than water. Our environmentally friendly Fire Suppressant is added into Wetline sprinkler systems, which are self-contained and utilize onsite water sources, completely independent of utility grids, which may shut down during an emergency. Tests demonstate that it cools 500-degree heated steel down to 85 degrees within 45 seconds. Lowers likelihood of rekindle.
Layer 2
Ember-Resistant Vents and Gutter Guards
To further prevent embers from getting into the home, our highly trained team of fire professionals recommend the added layer of Premium-Grade ember resistant vents and gutter guards (exceeding CA standards).
Layer 3
Patented Class-A Rated Structural Coating
The Patented Intumescent Clear Coat Spray is Class A Rated and tested (by independent professional third parties) to withstand up to 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit. This structural coating helps to prevent ignition by protecting against fire damage from flying embers or burning debris. We apply as a top coat or mix in with paint without it leaving a residue. This should also be used on metal rooftops, to help prevent heat transfer to wood framing beneath the roofline.
Layer 4
Heat-Resistant Window Laminates
Every second counts when embers are flying toward your home and an inferno is raging nearby., if property sits in the path of an oncoming fire. Now is the time to make sure that your windows are fortified beyond the temperature when glass fails, to help them to provide an added barrier for your home and withstand the heat and the impact of flying debris. Don’t let your windows be the weakest link – there are steps you can take to better protect yourself, your family and maybe even save your home.
Let science and technology work for you. Install our window laminates—a fire-resistant material that withstands heat of 1240-degrees fahrenheit for over 11 minutes.
