This course equips architects and design professionals with the knowledge needed to specify Advanced PVC products that enhance fire resistance in both residential and commercial settings.
It explores the principles of ignition resistance and non-combustibility, along with the significance of flame spread ratings in material selection. Participants will examine how Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) compliance influences design decisions in fire-prone areas and review the ASTM E84 test to assess the performance of PVC engineered polymers.
The course highlights strategies for integrating these fire-resistant materials to improve building resilience and minimize the potential for structural damage.
