Weyerhaeuser Rim Board Flak Jacket Fire Protection

Weyerhaeuser Introduces Rim Board with Flak Jacket Fire Protection™

Weyerhaeuser is expanding its fire protection offerings with Trus Joist® TimberStrand® LSL Rim Board with Flak Jacket Protection. The rim board features a factory-applied coating that meets International Building Code (IBC) noncombustible requirements for Type III (infill) multi-family construction applications. The addition of Flak Jacket protection adds a FRT option for TimberStrand LSL, as defined in IBC section 2303.2, therefore allowing builders to utilize the standard building practices and suppliers they are familiar with by simply substituting the coated rim board for standard TimberStrand LSL rim board on Type III projects. The Flak Jacket coating is designed to not alter the design values of the Timber- Strand LSL Rim Board and does not require special handling or storage. TimberStrand LSL Rim Board with Flak Jacket Protection is available in all standard sizes, and the protected rim board does not require special tools, hangers or training to install. www.woodbywy.com
