My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

HI. Is cellular pvc fire resistant?

12 years ago
I'm thinking of installing infrared heaters on the pergola -- hence my question.

    Hi! Sorry for the delay, I was looking for someone who has that kind of information and knowledge. This is the response I got from one of our experts, hope it helps!

    "Cellular PVC will burn in the presence of flame but once removed from the flame it goes out - An infrared heater would melt it but I do not believe it would actually burn from it.

    I would probably not recommend it if it was going to be attached directly to the beam - I think there might be an issue from heat from the back - If it was suspended down from the beam I think you would be okay."
