A Higher level of protection.
OSPREY is a deployable, foil-faced exterior barrier designed help protect structures from flying embers, radiant heat, and direct flame exposure. Stored in a roll and easy to deploy, OSPREY is used to cover exterior walls, windows, and doors, in order to creating a protective layer when wildfire conditions threaten.
WHY OSPREY MATTERS
Wildfire Threats Extend Beyond the Flames.
Embers and intense radiant heat can ignite combustible exterior materials, including siding, windows, doors, and decks, even before a wildfire reaches your property.
OSPREY provides an additional layer of defense by creating a temporary fire resistant barrier over vulnerable surfaces, helping to shield your home or facility when it matters most. The foil facing barrier deflects radiant heat and blocks flames from reaching your structure.
How Osprey Works
Protection Built Into the Vent
HAWK provides a permanent protective barrier at the opening, allowing airflow while helping to keep embers out. Engineered with fine stainless-steel mesh and a durable metal frame, our vents stop wind-driven embers before they can enter without compromising the ventilation your home needs.
Flexible protection for any property.
Osprey can be deployed on a wide range of residential, commercial, and industrial structures.
RESIDENTIAL
Help protect your home from wildfire flame, ember, and heat exposure.
COMMERCIAL
Scalable protection for business, facilities, and critical infrastructure.
CUSTOM APPLICATIONS
Adaptable to a variety of structures and architectural designs.

Deployable wildfire Barrier & exterior fire protection FAQs
-
OSPREY is Volare's deployable exterior wildfire protection system. It is designed to create a temporary protective layer over vulnerable portions of a structure when wildfire conditions threaten a property.
-
OSPREY is a deployable system rather than a permanent exterior finish. It is intended to supplement the existing building envelope when elevated wildfire exposure is anticipated, allowing property owners to add another layer of protection without permanently covering the architecture.
-
OSPREY should be deployed well before dangerous wildfire conditions reach the property and only when it is safe to do so. Deployment should never interfere with evacuation, and property owners should always follow instructions from local fire and emergency authorities.
-
Depending on the property's configuration, OSPREY can be used to protect vulnerable exterior areas such as walls, windows, doors and other exposed portions of the building envelope. The system should be planned around the specific structure before it is needed.
-
OSPREY can be configured to provide protection across vulnerable openings and exterior surfaces. Deployment planning should account for necessary access and egress so the system does not interfere with safe evacuation.
-
That is not the intended approach. One of the central ideas behind OSPREY is preparation before an emergency. Property owners should understand their system, storage locations and deployment process before wildfire conditions occur.
-
OSPREY is designed as a deployable protection system rather than permanent siding or cladding. When wildfire exposure has passed and conditions are safe, the system can be removed according to its installation and storage procedures.
-
Yes. The concept can extend beyond homes to commercial and industrial properties where vulnerable exterior surfaces, openings or high-value assets may benefit from deployable wildfire protection.
-
Reusability depends on the condition of the material following deployment and any exposure it experienced. The system should be inspected before being returned to service. Material that has been damaged or significantly exposed should not simply be assumed ready for another event.
-
No. OSPREY is intended to add another layer to a wildfire mitigation strategy—not replace vegetation management, defensible space, appropriate building materials, ember protection or emergency planning.
-
A deployable system allows a property to maintain its normal appearance and function during everyday use while having an additional protective measure available when wildfire risk becomes elevated.
