Important Fire Safety Information: When rigid polypropylene is exposed to significant heat or flame, the polypropylene will soften, sag, melt or burn, and may thereby expose material underneath. Care must be exercised when selecting underlayment materials because many underlayment materials are made from organic materials that are combustible. You should ascertain the fire properties of underlayment materials prior to installation. All materials should be installed in accordance with local, state and federal building code and fire regulations.

All products exceed industry standards for wind load performance. Check with your local building inspector for wind load requirements in your area for the type of structure you are building.
