Advanced Climate Seal Systems offers Southern California fire retardant, and wind-uplift rated urethane foam roofs.In Southern California, Santa Ana winds can have gusts up to 65 mph. These winds, accompanied by blowing chimney sparks, brush fire embers or airborne brands can ignite Class B and Class C roofs much easier than a Class A cool roof. If you have a structure located in San Diego, Los Angeles, Riverside, or San Bernardino counties, then you should install a Advanced Climate Seal Systems foam polyurethane roof, the only roof both Class A and UL/FM Wind resistance rated. Advanced Climate Seal Systems foam urethane roofs have the highest rated available Class A fire rating when installed over non-combustible decking or a existing Class A roof structure. The fire rating of roof coverings is determined for all materials used in code-compliant building, and is classified as either Class A, B, C, or 'unrated'. Class A provides the best fire resistance, and therefore is the best protection for your home, business, or structure.The combination of Class A fire rating and unsurpassed UL/FM wind-uplift resistance sets urethane roofs in a class by themselves, eclipsing and offering benefits above and beyond metal, shingles, torch down, gravel, shake, tile, and Spanish tile. Even ‘heavy’ cement shake roofs can blow off during these winds. Fortunately, an Advanced Climate Seal System polyurethane roof delivers a superior wind uplift rating which is important in Southern California. The adhesion of polyurethane is astounding. Polyurethane cool roof wind-uplift resistance, ranging from FM 1-90 up to FM 1-990, UL 1897, and UL 580 approvals are a result of this exceptional wind uplift performance. These systems commonly offer up to 80 mph standard wind speed that can even be upgraded to 120 mph with certain design enhancements. (In Florida, the application of a polyurethane roof lowers insurance rates because it strengthens roofs up to 4 times what nails alone can provide!) Underwriters Laboratories tests roofs for performance in high winds. To be eligible for a UL wind-resistant rating, not a single tab on shingled roofs must lift during a two-hour period of a 63 mile-per-hour wind. Most shingled roofs, cap sheet, torch down, and built-up roofs don’t come close to reaching this rating. The most widely accepted standards for fire resistance in building materials are those of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. To earn the appropriate UL Class A, Class B, or Class C, rating the roof material must not, at any time during or after each of the tests:
Class "A": The highest fire-resistance rating for roofing as per ASTM E-108. Indicates roofing is able to withstand severe exposure to fire originating from sources outside the building. In Southern CA, you should demand that your roof is Class A rated. Class "B": Fire-resistance rating that indicates roofing materials are able to withstand moderate exposure to fire originating from sources outside the building. Class "C": Fire-resistance rating that indicates roofing materials are able to withstand light exposure to fire originating from sources outside the building.
Cool Roof Foam Roofing systems are easier to maintain and repair than other systems. While Built-Up roofs and single-plies must be removed and replaced after their usable lives; repairing and recoating an SPF roof enables it to last indefinitely. Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is now used as an air barrier, an insulating material, and a roofing medium. Whether you own a commercial building, a residential house, a mid-century modern, an Eichler, an Alexander, or have a mid-slope, low slope, or flat roof, we can help.
