TS Fireshield for thatched roofs is a well-established formulation, trusted in the fight against thatch fires. This spray gives protection from the risk of fire in the form of sparks, flying embers, fireworks, Chinese lanterns, bonfires, and barbeques etc.
Why use a Fire Retardant Spray for Thatch?
The Burgoynes Report (Forensic Investigation into the cause of thatch fires in England) shows that the leading cause of thatch fires is ejected embers and chimney fires. The Fire Protection Association were commissioned by Historic England and NFU Mutual to research thatch woodburners and chimneys. Their report concurred with Burgoynes investigation. It also confirmed that the previous Heat Transfer theory is “unrepresentative of reality”.
