Fire can threaten any structure if it is not put out immediately. Different roofing products can either mitigate or accelerate the spread of fire, endangering lives and property. DECRA is made of materials that are highly resistant to fire.
Decra®’s corrosion-resistant metal roofs are made from non-combustible materials. Its stone chip surface coating even prevents the flames from spreading. With every tile being securely fastened at eight points, there is little chance of the roof collapsing even in case of fire and it will not allow sparks to penetrate through into the house either. As a result, Decra® roofs have passed stringent international fire tests and carry a “Class A” fire rating, making it one of the safest choices against fire hazards available today
House design themes using wood roofing materials like shakes or asphalt shingles with its plywood substrate are a higher risk compared to DECRA’s fire-resistant stone-coated metal roofing tiles. But if you would like to keep the rustic charm of a wood shake or an asphalt shingle roof, DECRA Senator Shingle and DECRA Shake will be the better choice without sacrificing the design, aesthetics, and more importantly, the safety of your home.
