Yes. D-Blaze FRTW has been tested by independent laboratories following industry standards ASTM 5516 & ASTM 5664 to develop strength reduction factors for various use conditions, including roof temperatures of up to 150° F for lumber and 170° F for plywood. Specifiers, architects and designers should consult and adhere to the Strength Design Adjust Factors and Span Ratings published in the current D-Blaze product literature.
