What is WUI?
The Wildland Urban Interface is the zone of transition between unoccupied land and human development. It is the line, area or zone where structures and other human development meet or intermingle with undeveloped wildland or vegetative fuels. The WUI is not a place, but a set of conditions that can exist in nearly every state in the country.

The two solutions MTP has developed have been designed to meet state and international guidelines on fire protection, without sacrificing the integrity of genuine wood siding on nature-adjacent structures.
