Fire Safety Benefits with Plaster
Plaster mouldings are an invaluable addition to any home due to its safety benefits. Utilize (gypsum) plaster mouldings to keep your loved ones safe and prevent fire-related disasters from spreading in your home. All DecoCraft products have a flame spread rating of “Class A”. This means that plaster’s tendency to spread flames and burn rapidly are very low. Not only does plaster resist flames, but it also reduces the amount of smoked developed in the presence of a fire. Classes are formed from ASTM E84 rating system which many building officials use as the standard method for testing flame resistance and smoke density. Class A materials all have the lowest fire spread and smoke index out of the 3 alphabetical classes in which all interior materials are organized. As a Class A product, plaster is in the top tier of materials you can use in your home and experience some peace of mind. Avoid materials like wood and plastic for your mouldings because they are more combustible and can act as fuel to a fire, causing more damage at a faster rate. Trust our products to keep your home safe. Our samples have been tested and certified with a fire rating of “Class A” which indicates a 0.0 flame spread rating as per the International Code Council.

Protect Your Investment by Choosing Plaster
When you choose decorative mouldings, you are not just investing in the appearance of your home or business, but also its integrity. Unlike other materials such as EPS foam or wood, plaster is not only resistant to fire, but also to other kinds of degradation over time. Plaster mouldings do not shrink, swell, or warp, making them ideal for structures in temperate climates with seasons that vary wildly. Plaster is also highly sustainable, as demonstrated by the original plaster mouldings still present in many historic buildings. Its environmental impact is low, especially when its ability to prevent fire damage to buildings is taken into account. As a sand based product, plaster reduces its ecological footprint — ideal for passive homes and those looking to incorporate “green” products into their living spaces. If any imperfections do arise over time, they can be refilled seamlessly with new plaster instead of trying to match entirely new pieces of material. When you invest in plaster, you invest in longevity.
