Defending your home from wildfires means preparing it for airborne embers, which cause up to 90% of home losses

We use:
FX Lumber Guard XT is an Eco friendly clear, Class A fire-retardant coating used on raw, unfinished wood. it dries odorless is water based non-toxic, non-hazardous, and free of harsh chemicals. We used it on some decorative Cedar Logs, trim and fascia on a H**pcrete studio we built in a high wild fire zone in the BC interior. You can apply a water base stain over top.

Vulcan Ember-resistant vents stop hot embers from entering and igniting combustible materials inside your attic, crawl space, or walls.
How They Work
Fine Metal Mesh: They utilize a durable, tight-weave galvanized or stainless steel mesh (typically 1/16th to 1/8th inch openings) that blocks embers.
Deflective Baffles: Some architectural models utilize patented baffle patterns to stop wind-driven embers.

We’re excited about a hybrid design we’re developing for a First Nations client in BC, combining our own H**pWall Yurt design with the Skeetchestn Dodeca-Homes🌱 🛖

The design will feature Skeetchestn Dodeca Home's premium-grade fir timber 12-sided round house frames with our fire-resistant, breathable H**pWall panels installed between the upright posts, along with H**pWool insulation in the roof and floor assemblies.

The interior H**pWall Panels will be finished with a breathable clay plaster and the exterior with Vipeq Canada Thermal CorkShield Spray. A highly vapor-permeable membrane coating made from 100% cork harvested sustainably from cork trees.

This seamless exterior finish will help create a breathable, fire, rot, UV, weather, and water-resistant thermal barrier designed for high performance, long-term durability, improved acoustic and insulation value, and a healthier wall assembly.

"The Skeetchestn Dodeca homes were inspired by traditional Secwépemc underground pit house designs and reflect Indigenous principles of sustainability, community, and living in harmony with nature blending cultural heritage with healthier, energy-efficient natural building materials for modern living."

For this clients project we will be building three interconnected structures: two 44-foot diameter (1500 sqf) Dodeca round house timber frames with our h**p infill materials and one 24-foot diameter H**pWall yurt. These are to replace the clients homes that were lost during the devastating wildfire that destroyed much of town of Lytton, BC, along with many homes on nearby reserves.

Human health effects of wildfire smoke. Sheltering inside may not fully protect you from the dangers of wildfire smoke.

Wildfire season is getting longer, more intense, and more destructive across Western Canada and the USA. 🔥

Wildfire smoke isn’t just a haze in the air — it’s a toxic mix of fine particles (PM2.5), carbon monoxide, microplastics, and harmful chemicals that can seriously impact your health and pe*****te deep into your lungs and bloodstream.

What can you do to help reduce wildfire smoke entering your home?

• Keep windows and doors closed
• Seal noticeable gaps and drafts
• Set your HVAC system to “recirculate” mode
• Run a portable HEPA air purifier

🌱🏡 H**pcrete walls can also help support healthier indoor air quality thanks to their breathable, vapor-open properties that may help absorb certain airborne compounds and pollutants while regulating temperature and humidity naturally.

Why choose our structural H**pWall Panels over standard SIPs? 🌱🏡🔥

Most conventional SIPs use flammable petroleum-based foam, OSB, and chemical glues that can off-gas VOCs and formaldehyde into your home. They can also trap moisture inside walls, leading to mold, mildew, and rot over time. Expanded polystyrene (EPS/Styrofoam) is one of the worst plastics for the environment, non-biodegradable, and difficult to recycle.

Our structural H**pWall Panels are non-toxic and breathable, made with Alberta h**p and lime
Legacy Fibers

✅ Better indoor air quality
✅ Reduced VOCs & off-gassing
✅ Breathable wall system
✅ Fire resistant 🔥
✅ Mold & pest resistant

The future of building isn’t more flammable foam and toxic OSB SIP panels… it’s natural h**p-based wall systems built to last. ♻️🔥
