THE RESEARCH

Scientifically proven defense.

Wildfire attacks a home with three types of heat: radiant, convective, and direct. 
FireShields is tested against all three.

98%

of radiant heat blocked

Radiant heat is the infrared energy that radiates off flames  through the air. This is the intense heat you feel before fire ever reaches you and it can ignite a home from a distance.

92%

of convective heat blocked

Convective heat is carried by hot air, smoke, and direct flame contact as the fire front sweeps across and around a structure.

0 ignitions

from direct heat (6 minutes)

Direct, or conductive heat, is transferred from embers and burning ash directly to the surface of the structure and surrounding debris.
