As fires start faster nowadays than they did 50 years ago, it is essential, for personal safety and the subsequent use of the building, that once a fire breaks out, it should be extinguished as soon as possible. For this, using fireproof materials in construction is essential, even when it comes to the roof.
Fire resistance refers to the ability of the roof to maintain its integrity, load-bearing capacity and insulation, in the event of a fire in the building.
Even if fires that start at the top of a building are considered the main source of fire coming out of the roof, the resistance of roofs to fires spreading from lower levels is also extremely important to give people in the building enough time to get out. It takes a long enough time to save people and things in the building, and then to allow rescue teams to intervene in order to put out the fire, without the risk of the roof collapsing.
There are several fireproof roofing materials, but when it comes to tiles, no fireproof material is as great as metal tiles. Honest Frisco roofing contractors confirm that a metal roof is designated with a Class A fire rating, due to its particular strength to stand up to fires.
