Under such <br /> exposures, roof coverings of this classification are not readily flammable, afford a <br /> fairly high degree of protection to the roof deck, do not slip from position and are <br /> not expected to produce flying brands. Examples of Class A roofs are metal tiles; <br /> cement, concrete or clay tiles; slate; and asphalt/fiberglass shingles. <br /> taw February 19, 1992 <br /> Regular Meeting <br /> 5 <br />
