Technology
How it works
Wildfires spread primarily through radiant heat and airborne embers not direct flame contact. HeatBlock is designed to interrupt this ignition cycle. The reflective aluminized surface redirects radiant heat away from the building, preventing exterior materials from reaching critical ignition temperature. When secured over exposed walls or roof sections, HeatBlock creates a temporary external heat shield. This reduces surface temperature buildup and limits ember intrusion two of the most common causes of structural ignition during wildfires and urban fire spread.

Radiant Heat Reflection
Reflects 96% of radiant heat, helping prevent exterior surfaces from reaching ignition temperature.

Ember Protection
Creates a protective barrier that shields against airborne embers and firebrands during wildfire events.

Proactive Building Defense
Designed for wildfire-prone areas and dense urban environments, helping homeowners and property managers reduce fire spread risk.

Secure & Adaptable
Velcro connects multiple blankets for extended coverage, while eyelets allow fastening with carabiners to gutters or battens. Can be stapled to exterior walls for secure installation.

Q&A’s

Find answers to the most common questions about HeatBlock, including how it protects homes from wildfire, radiant heat, and flying embers.
Learn how it works, how to install it correctly, and whether it’s the right protection solution for your property.

What is HeatBlock and how does it protect a home from wildfire?

HeatBlock is a radiant heat and ember protection blanket designed to shield buildings during wildfires. It reflects up to 96% of radiant heat away from exterior surfaces and creates a physical barrier against airborne embers—two of the primary causes of home ignition during wildfire events.

How do you install HeatBlock on a house?
  1. Roll out the HeatBlock Fire Blanket

    Unpack and roll out the HeatBlock toward the area you want to protect.
    Make sure the reflective side is facing outward.
  2. Attach the blanket at the top

    Choose the appropriate attachment method for your building:

    Metal gutters:
    Use carabiners through the reinforced eyelets to hang the blanket securely.

    Wooden walls or gable boards:
    Staple the top edge of the blanket directly to the surface.

    Alternative suspension:
    Use fire-resistant ropes or steel wire through the eyelets when additional support is required.

  3. Secure the blanket along the wall

    Continue fastening the blanket downward to ensure full coverage.
    Use additional attachment points as needed to prevent wind lift and keep the blanket tightly secured against the structure.

Is HeatBlock suitable for residential homes and urban properties?

Yes. HeatBlock is designed for single- and two-story homes in wildfire-prone areas, dense urban neighborhoods, and construction sites. It provides temporary external fire protection for homeowners and property managers seeking proactive building defense.

Can HeatBlock stop a wildfire from burning my house?

HeatBlock reduces the risk of ignition by blocking radiant heat and preventing embers from contacting combustible surfaces. 

What is radiant heat and why is it dangerous during wildfires?

Radiant heat is the intense thermal energy emitted from a nearby fire. During wildfires or neighboring structure fires, radiant heat can ignite siding, windows, or roofing materials without direct flame contact. HeatBlock reflects this heat away from the building, reducing ignition risk.
