Fire Resistance in DaVinci Lightweight Roofing Solutions

Fire resistance wherever you live is always an important thing to consider when it comes to the roofing product that you are going to choose for your home or building. However, there are certain areas of the United States (and all around the world for that matter) where wild fires can pose a serious problem.

As a result, while others might be searching for wind resistance or impact resistance, you might be curious about the fire resistance in our shingles.

Here's a breakdown the fire resistance certifications for both our rubber slate roofs and  cedar shake alternative roofs.
