SECTION 1 — Essential Homeowner Questions

APIRA significantly reduces the risk of wildfire damage, but no system in the world can guarantee the complete protection of a home during extreme wildfire conditions.

Wildfires are highly unpredictable events influenced by heat, wind, terrain, fuel load, ember storms and many other factors.

What APIRA does offer is:

  • a pre-installed, engineered protection system,
  • tested fire-resistant materials,
  • coverage of all vulnerable openings,
  • deployment without water, electricity, or human presence,
  • a multi-layered solution designed to minimize heat exposure, ember intrusion, and structural ignition.

While no prevention method can eliminate all wildfire risk, APIRA provides one of the most comprehensive protection strategies available today.

APIRA creates with its patent-pending wildfire defense technology, a high-performance multi-layered, heat-resistant thermal and fire barrier over the most vulnerable structural points — all openings (windows, doors, façade gaps).

It is engineered to withstand radiant heat, convective heat, embers, firebrands, and wind-driven burning debris — the primary causes of home ignition. This prevents the small but deadly ignition points that typically lead to total structural loss.

🔥 How APIRA Works — The Core Principle

When a wildfire threatens your area, the system is deployed in three steps:

1️⃣ Take out the APIRA panel from its storage position (typically indoors).
2️⃣ Place and secure it over the opening using our patent-pending, tool-free mechanism.
→ This mechanism was upgraded for 2025 for even faster deployment
3️⃣ Once secured, it creates a sealed thermal shield that blocks critical wildfire threats.

Each APIRA protection panel is:
• custom-engineered for every single opening (doors, windows, structural gaps)
• lightweight (~2 kg) and easy to handle but extremely fire-resistant
• heat- and direct flame-resistant for extended durations

🕒 Engineered to Withstand Long Wildfire Exposure

A wildfire front may approach slowly, stall, return, or last for hours.
APIRA is designed to remain in place and fully effective for extended periods, long after evacuation orders and long after residents have safely left the area.

🏠 Summary — What APIRA Actually Does

• Blocks all ignition pathways
• Stops heat, flame, embers, debris
• Deploys ultra-fast
• Works even when residents have evacuated
• Protects longer than any consumable solution
• Fits any size, shape, difficult position

APIRA maintains a growing network of trained and certified installation partners, ensuring full coverage in Germany and Greece.
Beyond these core markets, we are fully prepared to serve homeowners in:

Every APIRA installation is a fully customized, turn-key wildfire protection solution. Because each home is unique, the total cost depends on the number of openings and the architectural complexity — but for a typical 80–100 m² residence, our goal is to keep the price within a four-digit range (€X.XXX).

APIRA provides a complete end-to-end service, which includes:
• Initial on-site visit & risk assessment
• Custom design and engineering for each opening
• Fabrication of all protective panels and mechanisms
• Transportation & professional installation
• Full training for all household members
• Optional annual inspection and ongoing support

Because every home is different, cost varies based on:
• number of openings
• architectural complexity
• required protection level

🔥 Built on years of certified research and R&D
Our pricing reflects the extensive R&D behind the APIRA system — extensive laboratory fire tests, university collaborations, certified tests at notified, certified international test centers, engineering optimisation, patent-pending mechanisms and the development of proprietary lightweight fire-resistant materials.

SECTION 2 — Comparison With Other Solutions

🔧 Three Deployment Methods (All Equal & Official)

All three APIRA installation methods are equally validated, safe, and effective:

1️⃣ External Installation

Panels are placed from the outside of the home.
Ideal when there is clear access to doors, windows, balconies, or ground-level façades.
Provides direct shielding from the advancing fire.

2️⃣ Internal Installation

Panels are secured from the inside the home.
This method is used when:
• there is an external thermal insulation layer,
• external access is blocked,
• the façade design prevents external positioning,
• there is a safety reason not to go outside.

3️⃣ Intermediate Installation (Between shutter/roller & window)

Panels are installed between the shutter (or roller) and the window.
The shutter may “sacrifice itself”, but APIRA protects the actual glazing and structure.
This method is ideal when external access is limited — e.g., high floors, balconies without access, narrow ledges.

⚡ Rapid Deployment — Seconds per Opening

APIRA is pre-engineered specifically for your home’s geometry. For each door or window, a custom panel + mechanism already exists. The APIRA system can be fully deployed in minutes. Each opening can be protected in seconds, allowing the whole house to be secured in minutes. For exact timing details, see FAQ 14.

Therefore:
• no tools
• no strength needed
• no technical skill
• seconds per opening (no minutes)
• no complex mechanical steps

• no special expertise required

🏠 Effective protection that saves homes — and lives

By blocking all major ignition pathways and allowing rapid, stress-free installation, the APIRA system protects the home early, giving residents the time to evacuate safely while their property remains shielded.

💡 Why openings are the biggest risk
More than 90% of wildfire damage begins when heat or embers enter through windows or doors.
APIRA is engineered specifically to eliminate this weakness.

After the wildfire danger passes, remove the panels. If they were exposed to fire, contact us for an inspection and potential replacement. If not, simply clean and store them for next time.

Firefighters cannot be present at every home — especially during fast-moving wildfires.
Most property losses occur not because firefighters fail, but because they simply cannot reach each structure in time.

APIRA addresses this gap by providing:
• early deployment, even hours before a fire arrives
• full protection without requiring anyone to remain on-site
• defense even during simultaneous neighborhood ignitions
• no dependence on water, pumps, or grid power

APIRA complements, not replaces, the work of firefighters — giving your home a fighting chance even when emergency resources are overstretched.

📞 Adapt to your property—get a site-specific quote.

Wildfire protection methods such as water, gels, foams, and sprinkler systems can offer partial defense — but only under very specific conditions and only when someone is present to operate or reapply them.

🔵 1. Water, gels & foams — effective only for a few hours

Limitations:
• evaporate quickly
• need professional equipment
• must be applied right before fire arrival
• cannot protect vents/eaves once dried
• must be repurchased each time

APIRA advantages:
• no water or chemicals
• no evaporation
• protects for days/weeks
• reusable
• deploys early, before evacuation

 

🔵 2. Sprinkler systems — useful but vulnerable

Limitations:
• rely on water pressure
• rely on electricity/pumps
• wind disrupts spray
• fail when water tank empties

APIRA advantages:
• no utilities required
• no moving parts
• unaffected by wind
• protects all weak points directly

 

🔵 3. Environmental considerations

Water & foams may contaminate soil.
APIRA produces zero wastewater and uses no chemicals.

 

🟩 APIRA is fundamentally different

The APIRA solution is not a consumable product that works only briefly. It is:

  • reusable
  • lightweight (~2 kg/m²)
  • rapid deployment
  • independent of utilities
  • based on certified testing

Untitled

SECTION 3 — Technical System Details

Absolutely — yes.
APIRA’s wildfire protection system has been engineered from the ground up to adapt to almost any architectural configuration, regardless of size, shape, or complexity.

Since 2019, our team has been researching, testing and refining solutions for every possible scenario, including:

  • irregularly shaped windows or doors
  • unusually large openings
  • non-standard frames
  • hard-to-reach or elevated positions
  • old homes with uneven geometries
  • modern structures with large glass surfaces

🔧 Patent-Pending Engineering

APIRA’s solution is supported by a patent-pending system that defines how each protective panel or roll-based mechanism is measured, designed, customized, and installed.
This technical approach ensures:

  • each opening receives a custom-designed protection module
  • compatibility with virtually any dimension
  • secure and rapid deployment
  • full sealing of vulnerable points
  • architectural integration with minimal visual impact

📏 No size limitations in practice

Because the system is custom-manufactured for each house, there is no standard minimum or maximum size that restricts APIRA installations.
If an opening can be measured, APIRA can design the protective solution for it.

🏡 Summary

No shape is “too difficult,” no opening is “too big,” and no design is “too unusual.”
APIRA’s engineering allows tailored wildfire protection for nearly any building — new or old, simple or complex.

We handle the full process:
• on-site assessment
• measurement of every opening
• design & engineering
• production of all custom panels
• final installation

This complete process is included in the end-to-end service from FAQ 4 (with pricing details).

How long does installation take?

For a typical home (80–120 m²):
• Installation is usually completed within a single day
• Larger or complex homes may require 1.5–2 days.

During installation, there is:
• minimal disruption
• no structural damage
• no major construction work.

📞 Train with us—get a deployment quote and free consultation.

Yes — APIRA is specifically designed for fast, simple, and stress-free deployment, even under extreme pressure.

Deployment advantages:
• no tools required
• can be activated in seconds
• lightweight panels (~2 kg/m²)
• intuitive, step-by-step motion
• suitable for all users, including elderly homeowners

Even more importantly, APIRA allows early activation, long before a wildfire reaches the property — meaning you can safely evacuate without having to “time” the fire’s arrival. For exact timing details, see FAQ 14: How fast can APIRA be deployed?

📞 Train with us—get a deployment quote and free consultation.

APIRA is designed for rapid deployment, even under pressure.

For a typical home (80–120 m²):
• most households complete full deployment in 10–20 minutes. This timing is for a typical home with 8–12 openings, after the user has been trained and is familiar with the process.
• each opening usually takes less than 1 minute to secure.

The patented locking mechanism allows fast, tool-free placement without any technical skills required.

We train all household members during installation so they feel completely confident using the system.

In an emergency, APIRA can be deployed by one person alone, even if others have already evacuated.

📞 Train with us—get a deployment quote and free consultation.

The safest approach is always to follow official instructions from national and local authorities. If evacuation orders are issued, residents should leave the area immediately.

With APIRA, the recommended deployment happens early — before the situation becomes dangerous.
Because all components are custom-prepared in advance, each protective cover can be installed calmly and easily, without tools, strength, or technical skills.

Deploying APIRA before evacuation ensures that:

  • your home is protected while it is still safe to act,
  • installation happens without stress or panic,
  • you and your family can leave the area early, avoiding last-minute risk,
  • you return only once authorities confirm it is safe.

If the wildfire ultimately passes without affecting your home, even better — APIRA simply remains part of your preparedness plan for future seasons.

📞 Train with us—get a deployment quote and free consultation.

The APIRA system is designed to provide robust protection for your property, allowing you precious time to evacuate safely. Under no circumstances should any person remain inside the house after deploying the system. Human safety is always the highest priority. APIRA protects the property so you protect yourself by evacuating early.

How to Ensure Safe Exit Post-Deployment

  1. Prioritize Evacuation: Deployment is the first step of your evacuation plan.
  2. Exit Routes (See FAQ 6): The strategy for leaving depends on your installation method:
  • External Deployment: If your primary exit route (e.g., the main door) has an External Deployment setup, you can install the panel as you exit, completing the protection.
  • Internal or Intermediate Methods: If the panels are installed using the Internal or Intermediate methods, your exit from the house should be through an opening that has an External Deployment setup (e.g., the main door).

⚠️ Critical Safety Note: Prohibition on Remaining Inside While the system’s performance is verified under laboratory conditions, wildfires are extreme, unpredictable natural events. Despite APIRA’s proven effectiveness:

  • We strictly prohibit individuals from remaining inside the property after deployment.
  • APIRA does not substitute the obligation to follow official evacuation orders.
  • APIRA assumes no legal liability for damages, injuries, or loss of life resulting from non-compliance with evacuation orders or the decision to remain on the property.

Deployment Ease: The simplicity and speed of deployment are ensured by our patent-pending mechanism. This mechanism ensures you can complete your home’s protection quickly (see FAQ 14), giving you the maximum possible time for safe removal from the danger zone.

📞 Train with us—get a deployment quote and safety consultation.

APIRA does not require electricity, water supply, pumps, Wi-Fi, or power of any kind to operate.

The system is fully mechanical and manually deployable, which means it continues to function even if:
• the power grid fails,
• pumps shut down/ malfunction,
• water pressure drops,
• communication networks collapse.

• authorities issue evacuation orders

This is important because, during wildfires, electricity is often cut off early for safety reasons, and many homes lose water pressure or internet connectivity.

APIRA ensures that your home remains protected — even under total utility failure.

Independence from utilities is one of APIRA’s strongest advantages over conventional wildfire protection solutions.

📞 Train with us—get a deployment quote and free consultation.

SECTION 5 — Testing, Certification & Proven Performance

APIRA is engineered to dramatically reduce the risk of fire damage by blocking the main wildfire ignition sources:
• direct flame exposure

• radiant heat
• wind-driven embers
• heat accumulation on glass surfaces

APIRA does not guarantee that a home will survive every possible wildfire event — no solution can legally or technically guarantee 100% protection — but it significantly increases the home’s resilience.

When installed and deployed correctly, APIRA offers professional-grade wildfire resistance comparable to systems used in certified fire-safety applications.

The effectiveness of this approach is backed by extensive testing and certifications. [See FAQ 19 and FAQ 20 for detailed test results and performance data.]

📞 Validate for your home—request certified quote details.

APIRA’s wildfire protection system has been tested extensively over several years through independent certified laboratories, full-scale simulations, internal trials and manufacturer testing, in both Greece and Germany. Unlike temporary solutions such as wildfire wraps/foils, gels/foams, or basic sprinklers – see FAQ 8, APIRA is engineered to meet strict construction and fire-safety regulations. These tests confirm the system’s ability to protect homes from extreme wildfire conditions — including heat, flames, embers, firebrands, and radiant energy.

1️. Certified Laboratory Fire Resistance (NTUA, Greece – Nov 2025) Tested at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), in its verified and certified fire laboratory under EN 13501-2 standards.

  • Conditions: Continuous heat exposure at ~900°C.
  • Classification: Performance consistent with EI30 classification.
  • Regulatory Compliance: This level meets the strict Greek residential fire-protection requirements, specifically:
    • Fire Protection Regulations for Buildings (Presidential Decree/FEK 80, May 7, 2018).
    • Regulations for Properties near Forest Areas (Presidential Decree/FEK Β’ 3706, May 24, 2022).

2️. Full-Scale Real Wildfire Simulation (NTUA, Greece – Sept 2025) Conducted in collaboration with the Laboratory of Fire Engineering (NTUA), replicating real-world advancing forest fire conditions (open flame + 900°C convective heat).

  • The Experiment: Comparative test between a protected and an unprotected opening.
  • Results:
    • ❌ Unprotected Standard Window: Shattered in multiple points within seconds due to thermal shock, leaving the home completely exposed.
    • ✅ APIRA Protected Window: Maintained an internal surface temperature of 28°C while the exterior faced ~900°C. The glass and seals remained fully intact.
  • Significance: This experiment demonstrated that APIRA prevents radiant and convective heat from reaching ignition-critical points such as glass surfaces, frames, and seals

3️. Certified Laboratory Tests (MPA Dresden GmbH, Germany – July 2024) Two independent tests conducted by a notified, certified international body, following the EN 13501-2 Fire Resistance Classification procedure.

  • Results: Confirmed performance consistent with EI 45ef (45 minutes) and EI 60ef (60 minutes) resistance classifications.
  • Significance: APIRA’s protection systems endured continuous exposure to ~700°C without structural failure or critical heat penetration.

4️. Long-Term R&D & Material Testing (2019–2025) Since 2019, we have performed continuous internal testing on:

  • Heat Resistance: Endurance tests under prolonged high temperatures.
  • Ignition Simulations: Repeated exposure to flame and ember conditions.
  • Wind Load: Pressure stability and wind-resistance validation.
  • Mechanism Performance: Endurance testing of the patent-pending custom mounting system.
  • Significance: This long-term R&D work directly supported our patent-pending mounting and deployment system, which allows each protective panel to be customized and securely installed on almost any window or door size.

5. Manufacturer Material Tests Each protective material underwent factory-level stress, tension, delamination and thermal endurance verification.

SECTION 6 — Durability, Reuse & Maintenance

Yes — APIRA is fully reusable, provided the panels remain structurally intact after exposure.
This long-term reusability is one of APIRA’s strongest advantages over consumable or single-use solutions such as gels, foams, chemical coatings, or water-dependent sprinkler systems.

♻️ Designed for multiple wildfire seasons

Each APIRA panel or roll-based shield is engineered for durability, thermal stability, and structural integrity.
With proper handling and storage, the system can be redeployed again and again across many years, offering long-term resilience without recurring costs.

🔥 After a fire event

• If the wildfire never reaches the home:
The system can be removed, visually checked, cleaned, and stored for the next season. Our team can inspect the components upon request to confirm continued integrity.

• If APIRA shielded the home during an actual fire:
Contact us for a professional inspection. We will assess the panels and confirm if they are ready for reuse or need to be replaced. If any part has reached end-of-functional life, dispose of it as normal waste.

This simply means the system achieved exactly what it was designed to do:
➡️ Your home remained safe
➡️ Your family avoided danger
➡️ Your property stayed intact

📞 Ensure long-term protection—contact for maintenance-inclusive quote.

Yes — APIRA can protect your home even in a second wildfire event, as long as the panels have not been compromised by the first incident.

Most wildfire methods (gel, foam, sprinklers, water-based systems) fail once their consumables or supply are depleted.
After the first fire:
• gels evaporate,
• foams break down,
• water reservoirs empty,
• sprinkler systems may be damaged or offline.

APIRA’s protection is not consumed, not evaporated, and not dependent on utilities, making it uniquely reliable for sequential fire threats.

📞 Ensure long-term protection—contact for maintenance-inclusive quote.

APIRA is designed to be low-maintenance.

Recommended care includes:
• annual inspection (optional APIRA service)
• checking that panels are clean, dry, and stored properly,
• checking deployment mechanisms once a year
• storing the panels in a dry, clean place
• verifying that access to each opening is unobstructed

There are no pumps, motors, pipes, chemicals, or electronics that need servicing or replacement.

If you prefer, APIRA can schedule an annual professional check-up for peace of mind — but it is not mandatory.

📞 Ensure long-term protection—contact for maintenance-inclusive quote.

APIRA protection panels are lightweight and designed for compact indoor storage. Each element is prepared in custom dimensions that make both storage and transportation easy — even for individuals with limited physical strength.

We strongly recommend storing the APIRA components:

  • Indoors or in a nearby accessible location, protected from weather exposure
  • In a place known to all family members (and frequent visitors)
  • With immediate and unobstructed access, so they can be retrieved within seconds

Because wildfire conditions can change rapidly, every second counts.
Knowing exactly where the system is stored ensures that your home can be protected quickly, calmly, and without confusion when a fire threat arises.

Minimal cost (essentially €0 beyond storage space—no utilities or chemicals required).

Thanks to its modular, patent-pending design, APIRA scales efficiently from small homes to large commercial structures.

📞 Adapt to your property—get a site-specific quote.

The best time to involve APIRA is at the very beginning of the architectural design phase — before construction begins and before window sizes or openings are finalized.

Early consultation allows us to:
• integrate wildfire protection directly into the home’s design
• optimize the dimensions and installation points
• reduce installation cost and complexity
• ensure perfect architectural and visual integration

By planning ahead, the system becomes a natural part of the building, not a retrofit — ensuring maximum performance, aesthetics, and long-term resilience.

Even if construction has already begun, APIRA can still be integrated efficiently — but early planning ensures the most economical and technically optimal result.

📞 Contact us early, and we’ll take care of everything from engineering guidance to final installation.

We understand that maintaining your home’s architectural beauty is almost as important as protecting it. That is why APIRA is not a “one-size-fits-all” product, but a 100% custom-engineered solution designed specifically for your property.

Since the protective panels are stored away when there is no active threat, the only visible elements are the custom mounting profiles.

👁️ Minimal Visual Impact through Custom Design Because every single opening is measured and analyzed individually, we design custom profiles that fit your home’s geometry perfectly.

  • Tailored Integration: The mounting system is designed to hug the existing lines of your window frames or façade, making it as unobtrusive as possible.
  • Color-Matched: As detailed in our color options, the custom profiles can be finished to blend seamlessly with your architecture.
  • No Permanent “Bunker” Look: Your views and your home’s character remain completely unchanged for the 99% of the time you don’t need the system.

🛡️ Invisible Design, Maximum Protection Our goal is simple: We want the system to be virtually invisible when not in use, but to offer absolute, heavy-duty protection the moment a wildfire approaches.

📞 Discuss your design needs—contact us for a custom aesthetic assessment.

APIRA protection panels are available in multiple color options to match the exterior of your home.
Our default technical color is grey, chosen for its optimal behavior in high-temperature environments.

🎨 Custom colors available. Panels can be produced in a wide range of shades, including:
• matched architectural shades
• Light or dark palettes

• neutral façade colors
• Special exterior finishes (upon request)

During the design phase, our team reviews aesthetic preferences so your home remains visually cohesive without compromising safety.

📞 Contact us to discuss your property’s specific needs

You can, but you absolutely don’t need to.
