FIRE RESILIENCY

Fire Resilient Homes Built for Peace of Mind

When you buy a hOME/town hOME, you’re not just buying walls and a roof — you’re investing in safety and comfort for your family.  Every hOME is guaranteed to meet all Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) standards. The basic requirement of WUI is that the exterior of a structure be ignition-resistant.  In addition, it must be able to resist the entry of flying embers and fire radiation during a wildfire.  Our hOMES are engineered with fire resilience at their core so you can rest easier knowing your shelter is built stronger, smarter, and safer.

  • Instead of the standard ½" drywall, our walls are built with 5/8" Type X on the inside and an additional layer of Type X on the exterior. This creates a 1-hour fire-rated wall system giving families better protection and more peace of mind.

  • LP SmartSide fire-rated wall systems, stucco systems, and durable metals are all selected for their resilience and beauty. Backed by proven fire-resistance, these finishes offer enhanced designs without compromising safety.

  • Your roof is your first line of defense. That’s why every hOME we build features a Class A fire-rated roof — whether asphalt shingles, clay or cement tile, or metal. These assemblies are tested against severe fire exposure, so your family is protected from the top down.

  • Multi-pane tempered glass windows provide style, natural light, and tested protection.  Interior and exterior doors are solid-core construction ensuring strength, security, and elevated fire resistance.

  • From decks to fencing, we use ignition-resistant materials like masonry, metal, and fiber cement. These systems achieve Class A ratings, ensuring even your outdoor living areas are built with resilience in mind.

  • Every hOME comes equipped with an interior fire sprinkler system, along with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors for an extra layer of protection.
