FIRE-RATED ROOFING PRODUCTS AND APPROVED MATERIALS
Explore Class A roofing systems, underlayments, and components verified through recognized testing and certification standards.
Why Product Verification Matters
Not all “fire-resistant” materials meet Class A fire-rating requirements.
A roof assembly only qualifies as firesafe when every component—from the covering to the underlayment—has been tested together and listed by an approved agency such as UL, ICC-ES, or CAL FIRE.
Improper substitutions (for example, replacing the specified underlayment) can void the system’s rating and create false compliance claims.
