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
