Woodsafe – Global Excellence in Fire-Retardant Timber Technology
Woodsafe is a European leader in advanced fire-retardant timber technology, built on more than three decades of expertise, deep scientific competence, and uncompromising commitment to safety. Our mission is simple yet profound: to enable safe, sustainable, and architecturally ambitious timber construction – anywhere in the world.
From our state-of-the-art production facilities and the Woodsafe Research & Development (WRD) laboratory in Sweden, we combine materials science, industrial precision, and international partnerships to deliver fire-retardant solutions trusted by architects, engineers, regulators, and global brands.
A Global Network of Trusted Expertise
Woodsafe operates as part of a strong international network. Through strategic partnerships with leading manufacturers – including Hoover Treated Wood Products in the USA – we connect European and North American fire-testing methodologies, regulatory frameworks, and product technologies. This enables us to deliver fire-retardant wood systems that meet demanding requirements across different markets, climates, and building traditions – from Nordic timber construction to large-scale projects in the Middle East.
Our polymer-based and borate-based fire-retardant systems are developed and certified in collaboration with accredited laboratories and Notified Bodies across Europe and North America. Their performance is independently verified through internationally recognised test methods and supported by transparent third-party documentation.
World-Class Competence & End-to-End Support
Woodsafe’s strength lies in its combination of scientific capability, industrial precision, and practical understanding of real-world timber construction. Our multidisciplinary teams include specialists in:
- Fire science and reaction-to-fire engineering
- Timber technology and moisture durability
- International codes and standards
- Supply chain and industrial process control
- Sustainability, environmental data and EPDs
- Architectural advisory and project support
From early design consultation to project-specific documentation, Woodsafe supports stakeholders throughout the entire value chain – ensuring compliant, durable and aesthetically consistent timber solutions.
Certified to the Most Demanding Standards
Fire safety is not a promise; it is proof. Woodsafe products and processes are independently certified to meet leading international standards, including:
- European Standards:
EN 16755 (fire-retardant durability), EN 13501-1 (Euroclass classification), EN 13823, EN 11925-2, EN 927-6, EN 927-3, and SP Fire 105 façade testing.
- American Standards
ASTM E84 / UL 723, ASTM D2898, ICC-ES, NFPA frameworks, and the rigorous Exterior Fire-X technology platform through our partnership with Hoover.
- Military & Government Standards
Compliance with MIL-L-19140E and other specialized requirements for defence, marine, and critical infrastructure applications.
All certification is supported by continuous audits, factory production control, and comprehensive traceability in accordance with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.
Inspired by Nature. Designed for the Future.
Every lasting solution begins with understanding the material itself. At Woodsafe, we combine the intelligence of nature with scientific knowledge and international collaboration to develop fire-retardant timber systems that support sustainable architecture across generations and continents.
Trusted Where Performance Matters Most
Woodsafe-treated timber has been specified for some of the world's most demanding construction projects across Europe, the Middle East, North America and Asia.
From residential towers and cultural landmarks to transport hubs, educational facilities and large-scale resorts, our systems continue to demonstrate long-term durability, weathering resistance and verified fire performance—without compromising architectural freedom.
Building Confidence in Timber
As timber continues to shape the future of sustainable construction, Woodsafe helps transform architectural ambition into long-term confidence. By combining scientific research, international collaboration and independently verified performance, we enable architects, engineers, builders and regulators to specify timber with greater certainty across diverse climates, regulations and building traditions.
More than a manufacturer, Woodsafe is a global knowledge partner dedicated to advancing fire-retardant timber through innovation, transparency and technical excellence. Together with our customers and partners, we are helping build a safer and more sustainable future—one project at a time.
