Vulcan Vent™ productsprotect against fire with-out sacrificing air flow.The unique design of the Vulcan Vent™

protects against fire and dangerousember intrusion and at the same timeallows a high ratio of Net Free VentArea (NFVA). The honeycomb core ismade of 2 mil aluminum. It’s light-weight and strong and has great airflow.

The Vulcan Vent™ was designed to meetthe new California Building code SFM12-7A of the California Wildland-UrbanInterface fire code program.

The above photos reveals the differ-ence between a standard vent and aVulcan Vent™.

With Vulcan Vent™ , your house canbreathe but embers and fire don’tstand a chance!

How does it work?

Vulcan Vent™ begins with a standardframe design, but behind that is 1/4”hexagon expanded aluminum, coatedwith an intumescent coating fromFirefree Coatings Inc.

The coating swells up when exposedto high temperatures and closes offthe cells, effectively blocking off fire& ember intrusion.

BEFORE EXPOSURE TO HEAT:

AFTER EXPOSURE TO HEAT:

This unique design blocks not onlyFire & Embers but also the HEAT thatwould otherwise cause your attic toburst into flames.

The above graph shows the quick

response time of the intumescent

coating in stopping fire “cold” from

reaching the attic space. The blue

line shows the results of a standard

vent and the bottom three lines

show the results of three different

tests of the Vulcan Vent™.

Burning Embers from fires miles away can attack your home. Proven by independenttesting at Western Fire Center Inc, Vulcan Vent™ will keep dangerous embers from en-tering the ventilation areas of your home even when the fire is still far away. Then, inthe presence of fire the vent will self close preventing fire as well as ember intrusion.
