FireFoil makes aluminized wildfire structure shields. Our patent-pending Ember Shields™ and Fire Shields™ wrap your home or business with proven protection against wildfire damage. Wildfires spread to structures through radiant heat and wind-driven embers. FireFoil is built to stop both. Our shields reflect up to 96% of thermal radiation and block the embers and burning debris that ignite most structures. The technology is proven. Aluminized structure shielding has been used by wildland firefighters, the US Forest Service, and property owners for over 20 years. In the 2020 Cameron Peak Fire, FireFoil helped one wrapped cabin stay standing while 65 around it burned. FireFoil has been featured in TIME, NPR, CNBC, and AP. Every shield is proudly made in the USA and fulfilled from our Las Vegas or Sacramento facilities. FireFoil is sold through three authorized distributors: FireShields for property owners, Wildfire Arsenal for insurance carriers and MGAs, and Firezat for government agencies.
