Brief History of Wood Roofing Systems
Wood Shingles are one of the most naturally beautiful and long-lasting roofing systems that can be installed on residential dwellings and commercial buildings. Wood Shingles were the prevalent residential roofing material for many decades due to their beauty and longevity. A wood shingle roof can last up to 50 years if properly installed and maintained. Wood roofing was largely discontinued due to threat and danger of fire in California. However, with advances in construction technology and science this is no longer the case with the on-set of Fire Treated Wood Shingles.
How Safe are Fire-Treated Wood Shingles?
Fire-Treated Wood Shingles have a Class A Fire Rating - meaning they have been tested to withstand the same fire safety rating as composition shingles and metal roofing. Class A shingles are considered fully fire-resistant. These shingles can withstand exposure to direct flames without catching on fire. This may seem unbelievable, however due to the outstanding fire resistant treatment wood shingles are now legal in California, as fire resistant as other roofing solutions, and can be applied in any environment.
