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. Flame did not spread beyond six feet, time
to maximum spread did not exceed five minutes, and at not
time during the test did the material burn through the tile-mat-block.
