Does Cedarlite meet the new building code requirements for a 120mph zone. Do you have test data supporting claim?
The MonierLifetile SBCCI compliance report (Standard Building Code evaluation service) #9460B includes Cedarlite. 120 mph 3-second gusts equate to 90 mph sustained wind speed listed in that report. Polyurethane adhesive or one screw will comply with these wind uplift requirements. I have Cedarlite on my new house in AZ.and like it. So I was thinking of using it on a house I am building in Montana. See that you don’t recommend it and I understand that as the roofers won’t touch it up there. My question is is the standard tile able to stand up to snow and sometimes – 40 below? Our standard weight tiles are much better suited to the rigors of the severe Montana winters although the method of installation will differ somewhat from how your Arizona roof was probably installed. Concrete tiles perform quite well in winter climates, provided they are installed with those elements in mind. The greatest threat to tiles in winter regions is sliding snow. Snow retention devices should be designed
