Roof System Components. Raising the standard of roof installation.
 
MonierLifetile is changing the way people think about roofs, and not just with our design philosophy of Aesthetic Innovation. While it does result in the incredible realism of our tile-authentic colors, textures and styles that fulfill the creative vision for a home-it's only half of the equation. We innovate far beyond aesthetics. We view a roof not as a mere tile covering, but as a dynamic performing system that protects, breathes and ages with the structure. By studying roof performance characteristics and failure points, we have engineered a collection of Roof System Components that, when used comprehensively, create an enhanced roof solution and a superior installation. An installation that ensures the roof's functionality, performance and integrity. These components further reinforce our belief that, to remain a leader, we must strive to perfect not only a roof's aesthetic form, but also its primary function. Only then can we expect to provide our customers with a combination unmatched by any other roof company.

New Hail Impact Resistance Rating - FM 4473

 
For years, tile roofs have withstood severe hail storms that virtually destroy other roofing materials.  MonierLifetile is pleased to announce the completion of testing recently performed on our concrete roofing tile that illustrates the product's impact resistance.

As expected, all of our standard weight tiles achieved at least a Class 3 rating and our flat tiles rated a Class 4--the highest rating possible under FM 4473.  Building professionals and homeowners now have a mainstream, affordable roofing alternative that will potentially stand up to fire and hail (as well as high winds and rain).

Concrete tile played a key role in protecting homes from fire in the wildfire areas of the Western US, because of its Class A fire rating.  We expect more homeowners will want to select tile to protect their homes against hail in the Midwest, in light of the new FM standard.  It is also our hope the test results against the standard FM4473 will encourage the building industry to utilize hail rated roofing products, so homeowners can benefit from the opportunities to protect their property and reduce their homeowners insurance premiums.

MonierLifetile has two manufacturing facilities located in the Hail Belt region of the United States and has comprehensive guidelines for the use of tile in both reroof and new construction situations.  Please contact your local sales representative for more information.
