Do Bark House Shingles meet building codes for flammability inside city limits?
Bark House Shingles carry an E-84 Class B Certification for flame spread and smoke development values. Highland Craftsmen is the only one in the industry to acquire a rating from this national certification process. We have multiple independent lab tests completed which verify the attributes of our shingles. Building codes inside town and city limits are usually more stringent than for buildings outside of city-limits. Premium™ Grade Highland Craftsmen Poplar Bark Siding is meeting stringent municipal building codes for flammability, when applied over a non-combustible fabric layer. In Banner Elk, N.C., bark siding now appears on the list of “recommended” claddings for new construction. Check the building codes in your area.
