FS FIREWALL SYSTEMS

Fire-Rated Fencing Products for Residential & Commercial Applications

Protect What Matters Most — Fire-Rated Fencing Built for the Modern World

FS Firewall Systems is Fence Specialties’ dedicated line of fire-rated fencing and gate products — designed to deliver full privacy, lasting durability, and real wildfire protection without compromising on style.

What Is FS Firewall Systems?

FS Firewall Systems is Fence Specialties’ purpose-built product category for fire-rated fencing and gate solutions. As wildfires become an increasing reality across California and the Western United States, the demand for non-combustible, fire-resistant fencing has never been greater — and FS Firewall Systems was built to answer that demand.

Every product in this lineup has been selected or designed with fire safety at the forefront. From our composite WPC panels tested to Class A fire standards, to our Colorbond® Steel fencing with an ignitability index of zero, to aluminum and fire-rated glass systems — FS Firewall Systems gives homeowners, builders, and landscape architects a full-spectrum solution for fire-safe perimeter design.

This isn’t just code compliance. It’s a smarter way to build.

Why Fire-Rated Fencing Matters

Fencing is often the last line of defense between a wildfire and your home — and most traditional fencing materials fail catastrophically under fire conditions.

Wildfires Are Accelerating

California and surrounding states have seen record-breaking fire seasons year after year. Non-fire-rated fencing — including wood, vinyl, and untreated composite — can ignite quickly, spreading fire directly toward structures.

Embers Travel Miles

Ember cast is the #1 cause of home ignition during wildfires. Combustible fencing provides fuel for ember spotting, while fire-rated materials resist ignition entirely.

Insurance & Code Implications

Many municipalities in high-risk fire zones now require or strongly incentivize non-combustible fencing. Fire-rated products can also positively impact homeowner's insurance premiums and defensible space requirements.

Privacy Without the Risk

Homeowners shouldn't have to choose between privacy and safety. FS Firewall Systems products deliver full privacy — solid panel designs, no gaps — using materials that won't become fire hazards.

Our Four Product Categories

FS Firewall Systems spans four distinct material categories, each offering unique aesthetic and performance characteristics suited to different applications and design preferences.

WPC Firewall System

WPC (Wood-Plastic Composite) combines the warm, wood-like aesthetic of natural lumber with the performance advantages of modern composite materials. Our WPC Firewall System features aluminum-framed panels filled with WPC boards, creating a fence that resists fire, moisture, decay, and insects — all with zero maintenance requirements. Tested to Class A fire standards (ASTM E84 / E2768-11), the WPC Firewall System is the ideal choice for homeowners who want the look of wood without the risk.

  • Class A Fire Rated — ASTM E84 / E2768-11
  • Aluminum structural frame with WPC board infill
  • Resistant to moisture, rot, insects, and UV
  • No painting or staining required
  • Available in panels and matching gates

Steel Firewall Systems

Our steel firewall category features Colorbond® Steel — the same high-performance material used across Australia for decades, now available in the United States exclusively through select dealers. Colorbond® Steel boasts an ignitability index of 0, making it one of the most fire-resistant fencing materials available. Engineered from G550 high-tensile steel, it stands up to high winds, heavy rains, and extreme heat while maintaining a sleek, modern profile.

  • Ignitability index of 0 — highest fire resistance rating
  • G550 high-tensile steel construction
  • Full privacy panel design
  • Available in 16 color options
  • Three distinct panel profiles: Chevron, Vertiline, Linear

Quickscreen Aluminum Firewall Systems

Aluminum fencing offers a lightweight, non-combustible alternative with a clean, architectural look. Our aluminum firewall systems are ideal for applications where visibility, airflow, or a modern open aesthetic is desired alongside fire-safety requirements. As we expand this product line, aluminum solutions including privacy screening options will be available for both residential and commercial projects.

  • Non-combustible aluminum construction
  • Architectural clean lines
  • Lightweight and corrosion resistant
  • Expanding product line — contact us for current availability

Fire Rated Glass Systems

For projects where transparency and light transmission are priorities, fire-rated glass fencing delivers an elegant solution. Standard glass is not fire-rated — only specific glass types and thicknesses meet fire resistance requirements. Our fire-rated glass systems are designed for high-end residential and commercial applications where design and safety must coexist.

  • Not all glass qualifies — fire-rated glass requires specific thickness and composition
  • Ideal for pool enclosures, view fences, and architectural applications
  • Available in framed and semi-frameless configurations
  • Consult with our team for project-specific glass specifications

• HOA & resale value
• Zero maintenance
• Same style, smarter materials

Perimeter security fencing for commercial sites, industrial properties, and multi-family housing requiring non-combustible materials.
