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 |
