John Dirks Jr Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 What do you call this material and is it suitable as a fire break between the garage and house attics? Image Insert: 179.09 KB
hausdok Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 Sure looks like some kind of Nail-Base Fire Rated Insulation Board. I suggest Google - it's a wonderful thing. OT - OF!!! M.

Bill Kibbel Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 It's asphalt impregnated fiber-board (like Homasote). I doubt it says "Fire Rated".

jon_ran Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 Could you see under that 1X4? It is either "something" rated or "something" impregnated.

What you see in the picture is the best shot, anywhere in the attic, to find writing that would identify the material. I could not see under the 1x4.
