DESCRIPTION
The roofing assembly / material information published in this Manual DO NOT represent a complete set of the manufacturer's published data, nor does it represent a detailed specification. The preparation of a detailed specification is the responsibility of the design authority.

All materials used under the CERTI-LABEL Program must be manufactured by a Canadian Member Company of the Cedar Shake and Shingle Bureau. Each bundle of material must bear the “Certi-labels” and be inspected by the independent inspection agencies approved by the Bureau. Materials and their applications are detailed in Sections 7.2.1, 7.2.2, 7.2.3 and 7.2.4 of the RGC Roofing Practices Manual.
SHINGLES
Although other materials are available, the only shingles acceptable for use under the RoofStar Guarantee Program are minimum No. 1 Grade (No. 2 Grade acceptable for starter course).
Product Description
- Certigrade® Red Cedar Shingles
NO. 1 BLUE LABEL®
The premium grade of shingles for roofs and sidewalls. These top-grade shingles are 100% heartwood, 100% clear and 100% edge-grain.
- Class B & C fire rating may be obtained by specifying Certi-Guard permanent fire retardant Certigrade shingles.
- Certi-Last CCA treated shingles are available for added longevity and come with a 30-year warranty against rot and fungal decay.
SHAKES
Although other materials are available, the only shakes acceptable for use under the RoofStar Guarantee Program are Premium or No. 1 Grade of straight-split, taper-split, hand-split and resawn or tapersawn.
Product Description
Certi-Split® Red Cedar Shakes
NO. 1 HANDSPLIT & RESAWN
