About
Operating as B5 Industries this Alberta-based building innovation company focuses on advancing fire-resilient, code-compliant construction solutions for residential applications. The company specializes in practical technologies that address real-world regulatory, performance, and climate-driven challenges facing builders across Canada and high-risk wildfire regions.
B5’s flagship solution, Mythril Mesh™, is a patented intumescent venting system designed to protect soffits and attic spaces from ember intrusion while preserving critical ventilation. Developed to support compliance in Zero Lot Line (ZLL) and Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) conditions, Mythril Mesh™ offers a lower-cost, easier-to-install alternative to traditional fire-blocking methods without compromising long-term building envelope performance.
B5 also markets CuB™ (Chemically Upgraded Board), an advanced fire-retardant treatment solution engineered to enhance the ignition resistance of structural lumber. CuB™ supports builders seeking cost-effective pathways to meet evolving fire codes and resilience standards.
Working collaboratively with builders, regulators, and testing bodies, B5 Industries bridges innovation and implementation — helping the construction sector adopt smarter, scalable solutions that improve safety, durability, and long-term asset protection.
