hausdok Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Kibbel Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 It's asphalt impregnated fiber-board (like Homasote). I doubt it says "Fire Rated". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Image Insert: 179.09 KB If it's what I think it is, it will go up like a newspaper when ignited. I would not classify it as fire rated unless it says it is.

jon_ran Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Could you see under that 1X4? It is either "something" rated or "something" impregnated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
