Whole-home wildfire armor
When fire comes for a home, the home holds.
Thousands of Palisades homes didn't burn from lack of retardant. They burned from lack of engineering. Argentmantle embeds a 3,500°F-rated ceramic-aerogel shield into the eaves of new homes. It unfurls when fire arrives. Insurer-underwritten. The next Malibu will be different.
The failure point
The roofline was the failure point.
The January 2025 Palisades and Malibu firestorms destroyed thousands of homes. The ember attack that took them lasted minutes.
Embers entered through unprotected eaves. Rooflines ignited. Families lost everything in the time it takes to evacuate a neighborhood.
The technology to stop this existed. The company willing to put it in the eaves did not.

The system
Passive infrastructure. No consumables. No decisions under fire.
Argentmantle engineers a deployable ceramic-aerogel blanket directly into the eaves and roofline of new residential construction. When fire threatens, the system automatically unfurls — wrapping the entire structure in a reflective, 3,500°F-rated cocoon.
3,500°F
Rated
Ceramic-aerogel blanket withstands direct-flame contact and sustained ember attack.
Automatic
Deployment
Integrated into eaves and roofline. Unfurls on trigger. No homeowner action required.
Zero
Consumables
Sits dormant in the eaves. Uses nothing. Outlasts the attack. Ready for the next one.
How it deploys
From dormant to deployed in under 4 minutes.
No power. No network. No human decision. A passive thermal trigger reads the heat signature of an approaching fire and releases the shield — before the first ember reaches the eave.
The difference
Same fire. Two outcomes.
The only variable is whether the shield is in the eave. Drag to compare what the same ember attack does to an unprotected home versus one built with Argentmantle.
Technical assembly
Integrated at framing. Invisible at completion.
The Argentmantle housing mounts to the rafter tail before sheathing, insulation, or finish work. Once the soffit panel goes on, the system is invisible from the street — and ready for the next 30 years.
Assembly layers
Who it's for
Built for every stakeholder in the wildfire equation.
Homeowners
Your home holds. Not as a hope — as a promise welded into the roofline.
Passive protection that requires no action, no maintenance, and no decisions under fire. It is either in your eaves or it is not.
Production Builders
Installation specs, third-party test data, and Chapter 7A compliance documentation.
Argentmantle supplies builders with everything needed to specify, install, and document the system for WUI zone permitting and buyer disclosure.
Insurers & Carriers
Underwriting-grade documentation. Attach a verified wildfire-resistance endorsement.
Third-party test data and installation records that allow carriers to price risk accurately and attach a verified endorsement to the policy.
Why Argentmantle
"We already engineer homes that survive hurricanes and earthquakes. There is no acceptable reason a single ember should still be able to take a roof off a family."
Watching the Palisades burn lit a fuse that couldn't be walked away from. The technology exists. The engineering discipline exists. The only thing missing was a company willing to put it in the eaves — and to stand behind it with underwriting-grade proof.
Our mission
We make sure that when fire comes for a home, the home holds the family — not as a hope, but as a promise welded into the roofline.
The system exists.
The only question is whether it's in your roofline.
