Yes, fire-retardant coatings can be applied to wooden candle holders to increase fire resistance. These coatings contain chemicals that reduce combustibility, creating a safer surface around open flames. Look for products specifically designed for wood, and follow application instructions for best results. Although these coatings add an extra layer of protection, they don’t make wood completely fireproof. Therefore, still follow basic safety practices, like choosing the right candle size and extinguishing candles before the wax reaches the wood. Fireproof coatings are ideal for adding peace of mind to decorative wood candle holders.
