Arclin has debuted a new 10-foot Firepoint oriented strand board (OSB) panel, which provides 90 minutes of fire resistance, giving people critical time to protect lives and property.
“We spend a lot of time listening to what builders are telling us, about taller walls, tighter schedules, and the need for solutions that fit naturally into the way they already build,” said Bradley Bolduc, Arclin’s CEO.
Firepoint is a proprietary sheathing that provides 90 minutes of fire resistance when used in wall assemblies, exceeding code by 53 percent, to slow fire spread and give people critical time to protect lives and property. New in 2026, Firepoint now supports larger panel sizes, including 4 by 9 and 4 by10, making it ideal for tall-wall and multifamily construction and compatible with roughly 80% of the market that relies on OSB sheathing.
