FIRECOAT joins an international project team to showcase new methods of affordable and sustainable house construction.
In a groundbreaking initiative aimed at revolutionizing the future of housing worldwide FIRECOAT has joined forces with international experts to showcase methods in sustainable home construction at the University of California, Davis.
The project centres around a 37-square-metre ‘Demo Hut,’ a highly anticipated prototype that signifies a new era in residential building practices globally.
The collaborative effort brings together the expertise of builders, housing professionals, and academics, all with the aim of creating energy-efficient, climate-resilient, and cost-effective homes.
Innovative building methods
The Demo Hut, located on the UC Davis campus, serves as a best practice model for future housing developments.
It incorporates state-of-the-art materials, methods, and systems designed to meet four crucial criteria:
“Our goal is to demonstrate that sustainable, energy-efficient homes can be both affordable and resilient to climate change,” says Justin Rooney, Managing Director of Flame Security International.
“FIRECOAT's fire-resistant paints are a critical component in achieving this vision” he says.
FIRECOAT provided its innovative exterior and interior paints, which offer unparalleled fire resistance.
These paints are the result of a collaborative effort with the University of New South Wales and have been awarded the world’s first BAL-40 rating for fire protection.
“Being part of this international collaborative group underscores our commitment to addressing major social challenges through innovation,” says Rooney.
“Our partnership with leading global experts allows us to push the boundaries of what’s possible in fire management and resistance.”
FIRECOAT values partnership for results
Working with leading international partners is a core focus of business for FIRECOAT, part of a company committed to solving major social challenges by developing highly innovative new products and services.
Partnership is a key strategy for achieving these goals, and launching revolutionary products like FIRECOAT allows engagement with other pioneers in fire management and resistance anywhere in the world in pursuit of excellence. It’s through productive interaction like this that climate resilient homes and sustainable, energy-efficient buildings can become a reality.
‘As a proudly Australian industry leader in fire protection, FIRECOAT was honoured to be invited to participate in this international collaborative group,’ says Justin.
FIRECOAT Exterior and Interior paints are themselves borne of partnership. The globally leading fire-retardant paints were developed through a collaboration with the University of New South Wales, which seeks to combat property damage and loss from bushfires.
