HOMEBUILDER INFORMATION


Frequently Asked Questions (For homebuilders)

When and how is the fire and mold treatment applied?
As a standard feature, No Burn of California provides No-Burn® Wood Gard Mih protection on all wood framing on each home in the community. This treatment provides protection from fire and toxic mold, which is sprayed onto the wood by our certified and trained applicators. It includes a 10-year warranty to the builder. Treating the wood framing is only possible when being built and therefore is critical that it be applied during construction.

When and how is the upgraded treatment applied?
No Burn of California provides No-Burn® Plus and No-Burn® Plus Mih product as a latex paint for interior application for fire or mold protection. This treatment can be provided as an additional option and that easily can be a new profit center. Plus Mih can be tinted or a color coat applied over the top of our paint. Plus Mih can also be sold as product only with the homebuilder’s painting contractor applying the interior paint. The National Fire Protection Association has found from decades of fire research data that four out of five fatal fires occur in our homes. The most common locations where fire starts in homes are kitchen, garage and utility rooms so these rooms should be treated with NB Plus to ensure family safety. Fabric protection can also be provided on all textiles for maximum safety.

What does the treatment look like?
No-Burn® Wood Gard Mih is a clear spray-applied liquid and in some cases is tinted red to ensure quality application.

No-Burn® Plus Mih is a flat white latex paint type product that can be tinted, left as the color coat or painted over with a color coat of paint as desired.

What are normal fees?
We have found that your homebuyers value the No-Burn® treatment and benefits at 1.5 to 2 times our cost to the homebuilder. Make more money for every home that is treated. Pricing is highly dependent on volume and type of structure.

Do homebuyers really want No Burn treatment?
No Burn of California has found that homebuyers will never ask to have the No-Burn® treatment removed from the cost of the home even when given the option. Safety is a critical concern to the most common decision maker in the family as it is so very important for their peace-of-mind. National exposure of the No-Burn® name and products has made us better known and have increased the value of our treatment in our homes. Homebuyers love the No-Burn® safety and overwhelming want the treatment in their home.

Will the building department have any issues?
As all three of the partner-owners of No Burn of California are either former building officials or leaders in the codes and standards industry, issues have been few and minor. No-Burn® treatment is a means to enhance the safety of a building’s occupants, not a replacement for existing code regulations. The building department does not regulate or have issues with the No-Burn® treatment or products.

How do our customers get mortgage and insurance savings?
Homes treated with No-Burn® qualify for mortgage and insurance savings. Major lenders provide up to 0.5 percent discount and insurance companies up to 20 percent discounts. For more information contact Lillian.d.mcbee@chase.com. The No Burn of California team will work with your sales and marketing team to provide these additional benefits to your buyers upon request.

What sales and marketing support so you provide?
No Burn of California can provide full support for the homebuilder’s sales and marketing staff to properly explain the treatment and the benefits of the No Burn products. No Burn of California also has brochures and video materials to outline the benefits of the No-Burn® products and technology.
