Arclin Expands Firepoint® Distribution Through New Partnership with Capital Lumber

Capital Lumber to stock Arclin Firepoint^® fire-resistant structural sheathing at Sacramento and Healdsburg, California, locations

ALPHARETTA, Ga., Sept. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- 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.

Firepoint^® is a registered trademark of Arclin.
