Fire Retardant Test |

Space is the most valuable asset in most major cities like Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Manhattan (New York City), Miami and many over seas cities as well. There is an increasing demand for our products to be installed on rooftops and indoors. Passing two Class A fire-ratings versions makes our products superior for such installations. One test, tests the top of our products similar to the "Burn Pill Test" and the other test we have taken tests our products from underneath. Why, may you ask? Because most fires happen within a building and rises, so when our products sit on top of a roof, the material will burn from underneath. So to product you and your surfacing investment, we test our product from all directions. If required, the fire-rating is available prior to ordering. |

The exposed product was tested in 12 mph wind velocity. One minute after the burner was shut off, the product stopped glowing. The product has met "Building Code" flammability requirements.
