Calgary Fire Code Revisions
Hi, I'm curious to have others thoughts on the new Calgary Fire Code.
What I gather is new construction must have some interior and exterior (depending on the site) fire resistance now. I hear they will be enforcing this fall.
OSB can be covered with fire blankets or coated with a flame spread of less than 25.
I'm wondering how this will affect construction costs and design? What coatings might the builders use?
