Fire-Rated Panels for Wildfire Zones

In response to ongoing product information requests from California, Barrier has created a new electronic newsletter that shows the use of Blazeguard Fire-Rated Sheathing in exterior wall assemblies in areas of California prone to wildfires.The newsletter -- which can be found here as well as at www.intlbarrier.com, shows:

*A typical one-hour exterior load-bearing wall assembly diagram.
*A photograph showing this particular Blazeguard application in the field.
*A representative blueprint drawing of a wall featuring Blazeguard.
*Sample architectural specifications from an existing project.

A similar format will be used to distribute diagrams, specifications, and product information on Blazeguard use under eaves in wildfire zones, as a fire-retardant barrier for Structural Insulated Panels, in multifamily roof deck applications and in other wall assembly configurations.

Stay tuned for more, and if you would like to receive Barrier product newsletters via email, please send a request to be added to our email database to info@intlbarrier.com.

International Barrier Technology is proud to announce new sales representation in the Mountain States of Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming.

Stan South and Chad Nibbe of South & Nibbe, Inc., Denver, Colorado, have added Blazeguard Fire-Rated Sheathing to a list of specified construction products they represent.

South and Nibbe's business consists of representing building material product lines that are 100% manufactured in America. The two principles, Stan South and Chad Nibbe, have almost 50 years of combined experience in the construction industry. Each have made lasting relationships with many of the top engineers, architects, distributors and contractors in the Mountain States Region.

Stan South has been in the "rep" business for almost thirty years, and prior to that was the sales manager for a family-owned business that was bought out by Boise-Cascade. Stan has two business degrees from the University of Colorado and an honorable discharge from the Marine Corps. His wife of thirty-eight years is a teacher with Boulder County Schools and they have three grown children.

Chad Nibbe started his career in the building materials industry by working for ChemRex, Inc., a construction chemical manufacturer in Shakopee, Minnesota, after graduating college in 1999. From there, he moved to Colorado in 2000 to work with Stan South, and is now the President of South and Nibbe, Inc. Chad has two children in grade school and he and his wife are soon to have another son in late April.
