Smoke Webs Are Caused By Heat Rising

1/9/2019 (Permalink)

A fire can leave behind a multitude of problems, for instance, soot and smoke damage, as well as an intense odor. Smoke produced by burning plastic carries a stronger charge than smoke from wood, paper or cotton.  Heat rises, therefore, creating a stronger residue along ceilings and higher walls.  What many people do not know about is the smoke webs caused by the synthetic materials in plastic.  These smoke webs appear along ceilings as corners.  Another area that may be damaged more severely than others is windows.  This is caused because heat is attracted to areas with a lower temperature.
