M4 FRB Fire-Restrictive Barrier Panel

M4 FRB is an innovative and cost-effective fire-restrictive barrier for use in exterior wall assemblies. Simply install a single layer of 1/8″ thick M4 FRB panel to the extereior-facing 7/16″ sheathing and boost most structural wood framed exterior wall assemblies to a 1-hour fire-rating when built per test reports.  M4 FRB also meets industry standards as a weather-restrictive barrier (WRB) for added protection while saving time and money on your projects.
