Local Metal Roofing Manufacturer Offers Product that Guards Against FireCorona, CA (January 9, 2003)—Tasman Roofing Products, the manufacturer and distributor of DECRA® Roofing Systems, offers substantial benefits in areas threatened by fire. DECRA roofs are non-combustible (rated Class A material) making them ideal in combating the threat of fire. The metal is impervious to flying embers that can travel far from the fire zone and ignite roofs.

According to Bo Hudson, President of Tasman Roofing Products, “DECRA has been proven effective in canyons and arid regions that are most vulnerable to fire damage. Any person who lives or works in these areas is well advised to install a roofing product that represents the first line of defense against losing their home or business to fire.”

Each DECRA stone-coated steel panel is pressure formed from a corrosion-resistant, zinc/aluminum, alloy-coated steel substrate. The steel panels are then bonded with an acrylic, stone-chip finish, which comes in a wide variety of natural earth-tone colors. The steel substrate provides both strength and durability. DECRA roofs are manufactured according to methods that have been certified to ISO 9002 standards. DECRA has gained prominence among builders, architects, and roofing contractors for its durability, versatility, and lasting value to customers. Natalie Tanner, Marketing Manager for Tasman said, “For many people in wildfire country, installing a DECRA roof is peace of mind.”
