Make your home more fire resistant if you are building in a location that is fire prone. These considerations can give you peace of mind if drought or forest fire management continue to be an issue.
- Stucco walls with no open seams
- Aluminum doors and windows
- Class A fire-resistant roof – no roof vents
- Concrete pavers and tile on the patio
- If you are using wood outside ipe (Brazilian walnut) and other options are fire resistant
- Steel for outside stairways
- Tempered glass withstanding temperatures up to 450 degrees
Of course, these materials are more expensive but may well be worth it!
