FAQ
Q1: What fire certifications do these APVC Fireproof Roof Tiles have for European building codes?
A: DIN 4102-1 B1 – s2, d0 (German – accepted in all Bundesländer). EN 13501-1 B1 – s2, d0 (European – CE certified with full DoP). BS 476-7 Class 1 (UK – upon request). NF P 92-507 M1 (France – upon request). Self-extinguishing within 5 seconds, no flaming droplets, minimal smoke.
Q2: Is this the same as standard PVC? Why does standard PVC fail fire tests?
A: Standard PVC has no fire retardants – it burns, drips flaming plastic, and produces dense black smoke. Our APVC Fireproof Roof Tiles use UPVC composite with fire retardant additives – self-extinguishing, no flaming droplets (s2), minimal smoke (d0). Same waterproofing, same lightweight – but fire-safe.
Q3: What‘s the warranty difference between standard APVC and this fireproof version?
A: Standard APVC: 5-year warranty. Our APVC Fireproof Roof Tiles: 10-year service warranty + 5+ years after-sales – longest in our APVC line. The fire-retardant formulation is more stable, has longer tested lifespan. CE certified with full Declaration of Performance.
