Wood is increasingly used as a nature-friendly alternative to traditional building materials \u2014 which calls for fire-retardant measures. These are now also available on a nature-based foundation. But do such environmentally friendly ingredients and treatments actually have a long lifespan?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our whitepaper <em>Testing Methodology and Application<\/em>, we explain how Hestus tests and applies fire-retardant treated wood.
