Wildfire Resilient Homes That Exceed WUI Codes

Matt Risinger visits builder Jarod Coffman in Colorado Springs to explore how builders can meet modern Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) fire codes when renovating or constructing homes in wildfire-prone areas. Using Jared’s Colorado Rehab project as an example, Matt explains the role of fire-resistant siding, ignition-resistant decking, non-combustible exterior materials, and thoughtful roof and soffit detailing in creating a more resilient building envelope. He also breaks down common fire performance ratings and how they apply to exterior assemblies while emphasizing that wildfire resilience starts with smart material selection alongside good moisture management.
