Can I Cut FRTW?
ò Yes. Cutting lengths,
drilling holes, and light sanding
á
are permissible. It is not necessary to field-treat
á
cut ends to maintain the flame spread rating. Mostáá
á
species of FRT lumber should not be ripped or
milled.
á FRT plywood can be ripped or cross-cut.
Does FRTW Have Any Special Features?
ò Many types of FRTW are pressure treated, backed
á
by a warranty, provide extended structural support
á
during a fire, produce less smoke and in some cases
á
have preservative qualities.
