Fire Protection for Exterior Wood – Choose Freely, Protect Safely
With Woodsafe, you have complete freedom to create the look you’re after—from a classically painted wood facade to a natural wood siding that ages gracefully over time—without compromising on safety. Our systems are designed for exterior use and are type-approved according to service class EN 16755 EXT, ensuring long-lasting and documented fire protection in outdoor environments.
Woodsafe offers two fully verified solutions for fire protection of exterior wood: the traditionally painted facade or the unique WFX™ impregnation, which allows the wood’s natural patina and character to shine through.
No matter which architectural style you choose, you’ll get durable fire protection in accordance with the European standard EN 16755 EXT—tailored for the Nordic climate, weather conditions, and the test of time. With Woodsafe, architectural freedom and technical reliability come together in a single solution.
Woodsafe® WFX™ - Natural beauty, proven performance worldwide
Imagine a wood facade that ages gracefully—one that grays, breathes, and changes in step with its surroundings and the passage of time, without ever compromising fire safety. Woodsafe® WFX™ is more than just a fire protection solution; it’s a technological enabler for architecture where natural wood takes center stage—untreated in appearance, maintenance-free in practice, and safe in function.
Woodsafe® WFX™ is developed using polymer technology to withstand the realities of the outdoors. Harsh climates, salt-sprayed coastal locations, and rainy, north-facing facades are handled without the need for painting, surface treatment, or ongoing maintenance. The treatment technology is based on an advanced, cured fire protection system that forms a water-resistant polymer and is permanently bonded to the wood’s structure. This provides stable and long-lasting protection—a crucial difference from traditional fire-retardant treatment, where surface treatment is often required to maintain performance over time.
With type approval according to the European standard EN 16755 EXT and verified performance according to ASTM D2898, Woodsafe® WFX™ is unique in the market. The solution combines documented durability, high technical performance, and maximum design freedom. For architects, builders, and the wood industry seeking to combine aesthetics with future-proof functionality, the choice is clear.
With Woodsafe® WFX™, let the wood speak—and let the fire protection take care of the rest.
