The roof is the most vulnerable part of any home during a wildfire. Since tile roof tiles are noncombustible, they enhance a structure’s level of fire safety. Roofing tiles last a long time and they do not rot, curl, rust or burn, especially tiles made of cement mixtures. In fact, the longer tiles are exposed, the more durable they become. By design, a tile roof is allowing air circulation under the tile, which reduces heat transfer to the attic during a fire.
Tile roofs achieve the highest attainable fire rating for both the product and installed system. The Class A fire rating includes tests for spread of flame, intermittent flame, and the burning brand.
