Roofs and Fire Safety: Materials That Protect Your Home

Fire safety is a critical consideration in modern home design. Your roof is one of the first lines of defense against fire, and choosing the right roofing materials can significantly reduce risk. From wildfires to accidental fires, fire-resistant roofing materials help protect your home, property, and loved ones.

Why Roof Fire Safety Matters

• Roofs are highly exposed to external heat sources, embers, and sparks.

• Traditional materials like untreated wood shingles can ignite easily.

• Fire-resistant roofs enhance safety and may reduce insurance premiums.
