Anti-Incendiary Roof Layering

Coldwater Cool Roofing’s anti-incendiary roof systems deliver passive wildfire resilience through Class A-rated, polymer-modified underlayments and elastomeric coatings. These self-adhering, fiberglass-reinforced membranes are engineered to seal ignition-prone gaps, intercept windborne embers, and withstand direct flame exposure. Each assembly we install is validated to meet or exceed ASTM E108 and UL 790 protocols, ensuring full compliance within Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) zones and delivering maximum structural protection under wildfire conditions.

For low-slope roofs in sound condition, we apply fire-rated silicone or PVC coatings directly over the existing surface — eliminating the need for tear-off. This monolithic layer enhances thermal resistance, UV durability, and ignition suppression while preserving the roof’s original profile and performance. It’s a strategic retrofit for buildings in fire-prone regions seeking enhanced protection without structural disruption.

CCR also offers complete fire-rated roof reconstructions using best-in-class materials and assemblies. We install a range of ignition-resistant top layers — including metal, tile, TPO, PVC, and composite systems — integrated over high-performance, flame-resistant underlayments. These assemblies are engineered for optimal performance in high-temperature, ember-rich environments and are fully compliant with California’s Chapter 7A fire code.

Metal roofing systems combined with Class A-rated underlayments represent the highest standard in wildfire defense — offering superior resistance to flame spread, radiant heat, and ember intrusion. Our anti-incendiary assemblies are most effective when paired with noncombustible gutters, enclosed eaves, CAL FIRE-listed vents, and roofline sprinkler systems to form a comprehensive wildfire mitigation envelope.

Unlike conventional asphalt shingle systems — which can fail within minutes of flame contact — CCR’s assemblies are engineered to endure sustained fire exposure for over an hour. This critical window can mean the difference between total loss and successful intervention, especially in remote or delayed-response zones.

Coldwater Cool Roofing’s solutions are grounded in contemporary fire science, validated assemblies, and rigorous code compliance. We source only the highest-rated materials available and implement a systems-based methodology aligned with California’s structure hardening framework. Whether you’re pursuing a seamless retrofit or a full-scale rebuild, CCR delivers fire-adapted roofing systems that harden your structure from the top down — because in Los Angeles, wildfire resilience isn’t optional. It’s essential.
