1. Opinion

It is the opinion of the Canadian Construction Materials Centre (CCMC) that “ArrowLine Shingle Shake, and ArrowLine Slate”, when used as a metal roofing system in accordance with the conditions and limitations stated in Section 3 of this Report, complies with the National Building Code 2010:

  • Clause 1.2.1.1.(1)(b), Division A, as an alternative solution that achieves at least the minimum level of performance required by Division B in the areas defined by the objectives and functional statements attributed to the following applicable acceptable solutions:
    • Subsection 9.26.2. Roofing Materials

This opinion is based on CCMC's evaluation of the technical evidence in Section 4 provided by the Report Holder.

2. Description

The panels are manufactured from 0.37-mm-thick galvanized steel coated with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). The underside of the panels is finished with a corrosion-resistant coating. The panels are 1 288 mm x 325 mm of which 1 270 mm x 305 mm is exposed. The panels are stamped to simulate traditional shake or slate roofing products.

The panels have an interlocking system on all four sides and are installed from left to right using five fastener clips per panel.  The complete roofing system includes accessories such as an eave and rake starter, ridge and hip cap, shingle and valley clips, valley flashing and cap, and end wall flashing.

3. Conditions and Limitations

CCMC's compliance opinion in Section 1 is bound by the “ArrowLine Shingle Shake, and ArrowLine Slate” being used in accordance with the conditions and limitations set out below.

  • The panels must be installed on roofs having a minimum slope of 1 in 3.
  • The panels must be installed over solid sheathing complying with the requirements of Subsection 9.23.16., Roof Sheathing, of Division B of the NBC 2010.
  • An underlay consisting of two layers of Type 15 organic felt or one layer of Type 30 organic felt must be used in conjuction with the panels.
  • The panels must be installed with eave protection as indicated in Subsection 9.26.5., Eave Protection for Shingles and Shakes, of Division B of the NBC 2010.
  • Flashing must be installed in compliance with the requirements of Subsection 9.26.4., Flashing at Intersections, of Division B of the NBC 2010.
  • Only fasteners and accessories supplied by the manufacturer may be used in conjuction with the products. The fasteners and accessories must be compatible with the base metal of the panels.
  • The roofing system is for use in locations where access is limited to maintenance or repair purposes. When access is needed, temporary walkways or roof boards are recommended to avoid any permanent damage to the panels.
  • The roofing system must be installed by manufacturer-approved installers in strict conformance to the manufacturer's instructions.
