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.
