Shields vs. Alternatives

Every wildfire protection method has its pros and cons. To support your decision-making, we've put together a side-by-side comparison of FireFoil and other common options.

 

As a reminder, there are very few actions one can make when a wildfire is near: firefighters (private or public), sprinklers, foams/gels and FireFoil.

 

Side-by-Side Comparison

 

Solution	Pros	Cons
Private Firefighting Services	Can offer custom protection if available; trained professionals on-site	Extremely expensive; limited availability; minimal to no smoke protection
Public Firefighter Response	No cost to homeowner; supported by public infrastructure	Not guaranteed during major events; minimal to no smoke protection
Sprinklers	Works well if water supply is reliable; automated options exist	Automated options are expensive; non-automated are unreliable; dependent on power and water; often causes water damage; minimal to no smoke protection
Foams or Gels	Can be applied quickly to small areas; may delay ignition temporarily	Evaporates quickly; requires last-minute application, endangering the applier; if not DIY, availability is not guaranteed during major events; offers minimal to no smoke protection
FireFoil	Long-lasting protection; complete deployment minimizes smoke damage; perimeter deployment in minutes	Roof deployment in hours; requires planning and setup
