Province™ Slate Earns Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance
After a months-long testing process, Province™ Slate has achieved the impressive Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance (NOA). This is the most rigorous testing review a roofing product can go through. It’s the “gold standard” of high achievement for roofing material. Province Slate joins the list of DaVinci Roofscapes composite roofing products in earning this prestigious approval.
But, why is this important to you? Especially if you don’t live in Florida?
There are several reasons.
#1 — Roof Durability That’s Vetted
The Miami-Dade County NOA is the highest testing level in the country. When we make our composite roofing products, we make each one of them to meet (and exceed) the tough standards of this testing. That’s so you can have the most durable roof possible on your home. And, so you’ll have the peace-of-mind of knowing your home and family are protected during severe weather conditions.
#2 — Proactive Weather Preparation
Decades ago hurricanes and their powerful weather systems were mostly confined to Florida and the southern region of the country. Not anymore. Just recently Hurricane Lee made its way all the way up to Maine.
Weather patterns are changing. That means homeowners across the U.S. need to have roofing products that can handle any type of weather from hurricanes to hail. Roofing products with Miami-Dade County code approvals can stand up to powerful winds in an Oklahoma storm just as easily as they can to wind-driven rain in Ohio.
#3 — Potential Insurance Savings
In order to create composite roofing products that have the capability to meet the Miami-Dade County code requirements, we need to make them tough. So tough that our composite slate and shake roofing products are Class A fire rated. They stop the spread of fire on a roof and are certified to meet Wildfire-Urban Interface (WUI) requirements.
DaVinci composite roofing is also Class 4 impact rated. Which means that when chunks of hail fall from the sky (or golf balls hit a roof from a nearby golf course), they won’t damage our roofs. Add in that DaVinci roofs have passed the High Velocity Hurricane Zone: TAS 125 test, for winds up to 180mph, and you have an incredibly strong roof. So strong that many insurance companies offer hefty discounts on yearly homeowners insurance to people who have invested in DaVinci roofs.
Coast-to-Coast Aesthetic Appeal
As the newest product in the DaVinci offering, Province Slate has already made its mark on several unique projects. From Mediterranean style to modern farmhouse homes, Province Slate accents residential projects beautifully with its 12-inch wide tile and fixed 8-inch exposure.
From Louisiana to California, Province Slate projects bring authentic natural slate appeal to homes across America. Now, thanks to manufacturing expertise that makes the composite slate product resist severe weather, high winds, insects, algae and fungus growth, Province Slate has also joined the rest of the DaVinci family as a proud bearer of the Miami-Dade County NOA.
