SaferWood Around the World

Ignition Resistant FRTW

IMPORTANT: The following photos are examples of a few of the species we treat; however, the wood is submitted to us by our clients. SaferWood does not produce a finished FRTW product with the exception of WRC STK per image below (bundles with end caps). We will gladly connect you directly with one of our preferred TSO clients for samples, technical info, and additional information.
