Capital Lumber to stock Arclin Firepoint® fire-resistant structural sheathing
at Sacramento and Healdsburg, California, locations
ALPHARETTA, Ga., September 21, 2026 —Arclin, a leading materials science company, today announced
a new distribution partnership with Capital Lumber for Arclin Firepoint®, its proprietary, fire-resistant
structural sheathing. Capital Lumber will stock Firepoint at its Sacramento and Healdsburg, California,
locations, expanding product availability for lumber dealers, builders, contractors, architects, and other
customers across the region.
The partnership expands Firepoint’s distribution network in California, providing building professionals
with greater access to a sheathing solution designed to support more resilient construction. Firepoint
integrates proprietary intumescent technology onto the panel to help slow fire while preserving the
structural performance and constructability builders expect from conventional sheathing.
“Partnering with Capital Lumber allows us to broaden access to Firepoint and better support customers
looking for practical ways to incorporate greater fire resilience into their projects,” said Matthew Bruce,
Arclin’s Vice President of Sales, Downstream Products. “Capital Lumber’s strong presence in California
makes them an ideal partner as we continue expanding Firepoint’s distribution network and making the
product more accessible to builders, contractors, and specifiers throughout the region.”
Firepoint installs like conventional sheathing and integrates into standard framing workflows without
requiring separate fire-protection layers. The product is designed for residential, multifamily, and
Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) construction and meets California WUI (Chapter 7A) requirements.
“Our customers are looking for building materials that deliver greater performance while remaining
practical to specify and install,” said Derek Cone, Vice President of Operations at Capital Lumber.
“Through our partnership with Arclin, we’re pleased to expand access to Firepoint and provide an
innovative solution that can enhance fire resistance, streamline construction, and support more resilient
buildings.”
Firepoint is available in 8-foot and 10-foot panel lengths, with the larger 10-foot panel introduced in
2026 to support taller wall and multifamily applications while helping reduce seams, fasteners, material
waste, and installation time.
