Summer is a bustling season for increased construction project activity; however, it’s also a time when the risk of wildfires becomes more prevalent across the country. In fact, the National Fire Protection Association estimated $3.4 billion in direct property damage from non-residential structure fires across the U.S. in 2020. Educating your customers about the fire resistance of their commercial roofs can be crucial, particularly in fire-prone areas.
Fire-resistant roofing is categorized into four classes. Class A provides the highest level of protection, while Class B and C materials are less common and often unsuitable for commercial buildings.
In an article by Beacon Building Products, the author explains the unique properties of the most common commercial roofing materials and shares important information to help you and your potential building owner choose the best fire-resistant materials for their building.
Equip yourself with the knowledge to ensure the safety and security of your building owners’ businesses this summer. For a more detailed analysis and to guide your customers in choosing the right fire-resistant roofing materials, read the full blog on Beacon’s website.
