• Clear debris and vegetation off your roof regularly.
• Fill gaps between the roof covering and sheathing so embers can't get underneath.
• When it's time to replace your roof, choose a Class A-rated covering, such as asphalt fiberglass composition shingles.

Aether's treatment coats roof surfaces and nearby overhangs with fire retardant, adding a layer of ember protection to areas that are hard to reach and easy to overlook.

• Keep the areas around solar panels and other roof attachments free of debris.
• Leave enough clearance underneath attachments so debris doesn't build up.
• Make sure skylights have a noncombustible metal mesh screen (1/8 inch or smaller) and tempered glass.

• Install noncombustible gutter covers to cut down on debris buildup.
• Replace vinyl gutters with metal when it's time for an upgrade.
• Add a metal drip edge along the roofline to fully cover the gap above your gutters.

Aether's treatment reduces the flammability of debris and material that collects in and around gutters, an area that's difficult to clear consistently.

• Replace attic and crawlspace vents with ember-resistant, State Fire Marshal-approved vents, or cover existing vents with 1/16–1/8 inch noncombustible metal mesh.
• Seal all openings around vents, including blocking and gaps.
• Keep the area around every vent clear of debris.

• Remove vegetation and combustible material directly beneath eaves.
• Enclose eaves with noncombustible material, whether soffited or open.
• Plug or caulk gaps around rafter tails and blocking.

Aether's treatment reaches eaves and overhangs that are otherwise difficult to access without scaffolding, adding fire-retardant coverage to this vulnerable zone.

• Plug and repair all gaps, holes, or rot in exterior siding.
• Consider replacing combustible siding with a noncombustible or ignition-resistant material.
• If full replacement isn't feasible, replace the bottom two feet of siding with a noncombustible material and add metal flashing at the base.

Aether's treatment applies fire retardant to exterior wall surfaces, helping reduce ignition risk on siding that can't be replaced before fire season.

• Install or upgrade to double-pane tempered glass windows.
• Remove vegetation and combustible material within 5 feet of every window.
• Add metal mesh window screens to improve performance under radiant heat.

• Replace combustible screen or sliding doors with noncombustible options.
• Add gasketing (weather-stripping) to garage doors to block ember intrusion.
• Install metal flashing at door jambs and headers.

• Create an ember-resistant zone under and extending five feet around the deck, using gravel, pavers, or concrete.
• Replace deck boards, stairs, and railings with ignition-resistant or noncombustible material.
• Remove combustible items stored underneath the deck and clear debris regularly.

Aether's treatment covers deck surfaces and the vegetation surrounding them, reinforcing the ember-resistant zone CAL FIRE recommends around this high-risk area.

• Replace combustible fencing attached to your home with a noncombustible option for the first 8 feet.
• Keep vegetation and debris clear from fence bases and along the fence line.
• When it's time to replace your fence, choose noncombustible or ignition-resistant materials.

Aether's treatment can be applied along fence lines and adjacent vegetation, lowering ignition risk where fencing meets the structure.

• Create a noncombustible barrier — at least 12 inches — between attachments and the structure.
• Remove vegetation growing on or near the attachment.
• Replace combustible attachments with noncombustible alternatives where possible.

• Create a 10-foot ember-resistant zone around sheds and accessory buildings.
• Upgrade with noncombustible or ignition-resistant materials where possible.
• Position the shed door so it does not face your home.
