WUI is where homes bordering natural areas face heightened wildfire risks. A WUI-compliant roof is critical to fire prevention and ember protection for homes adjacent to vegetation.

The specific requirements and criteria for achieving a Class A fire rating may vary depending on the building codes and standards in different regions.
To determine if your home requires a Class A roof, consult your local building codes for material and fire resistance requirements, available through your local government’s website or building department. For assistance interpreting these codes, seek advice from a licensed building professional (architect, contractor, builder).
