Please contact your local sales office for further assistance. Categories, typographical errors subject to change without notice. No performance guarantee is offered or implied beyond that expressly indicated. Efflorescence is a temporary surface condition which is common to all concrete products. The process is caused by the chemical nature of cement. This reaction can appear as an overall chalky white bloom (a softening of color) or in more concentrated patches. It is difficult to predict how long the effects of efflorescence will last. It depends on the type and amount of deposit as well as local weather conditions. The action of carbon dioxide and rainwater will gradually remove the deposit, in most cases, leaving the original color of the roof intact without further efflorescence occurring. It is superficial and in no way affects the quality or functional properties of the tile. Installation: Please consult the Tile Roofing Institute (TRI) Installation guides for application recommendations. Technical specifications do not constitute a warranty by MonierLifetile. The only applicable warranty with respect to this product is the Limited Lifetime, Fully Transferable, Non-Prorated Product Warranty for tile contained in MonierLifetile s product literature, dated most recently prior to the installation of this product on the owner s roof.

MonierLifetile s concrete roof tile systems undergo the most stringent testing for fire safety and pass with a Class A fire rating, the best rating available. Topping your home with a MonierLifetile roof is a smart decision indeed, but there are other fire resistant roof system components that can Class A Fire Rating Test protect your home from wind blown flames and embers that can enter through a home's vulnerable vents. Results: Undamaged concrete tile following Class A Fire Rating Test Brandguard Vents is a complete line of flame and ember resistant vents that also block wind-driven rain and snow MonierLifetile is pleased to offer Brandguard Vents, the leading flame and ember resistant vents. They protect homes and buildings from the threat of wildfire and nearby structural fires. The overlapping baffles in the vents act as a barrier to prevent the intrusion of flames and embers, through a structure s vulnerable vent openings. The patent pending design has comparable net free vent area (NFVA) to conventional vents and allows for sufficient exchange of air to prevent mold issues and save energy. Brandguard Vents were the first commercially available vents designed to meet the new Chapter 7A requirements of the California Building Code. This new code requires builders and roofers to use vents that resist the intrusion of flames and embers when building in fire-prone areas. All Brandguard vents are made with 26 gauge G-90 galvanized steel for durability, are readily paintable, and carry a 20-year manufacturer s warranty. 3

Roof System Components - A Higher Standard of Roof Installation. At MonierLifetile we view a roof as not a mere tile covering but a dynamic, performing system that protects, breathes and ages with the structure. By studying roof performance characteristics and failure points, we have created Roof System Components a collection of components that, when installed properly and used comprehensively, result in a tile roof that lasts longer and increases energy savings. Ensures all areas of a roof are protected and utilized for optimum performance Improves weatherproofing and breatheability of a tile roof Helps prevent water damage Increases airflow and ventilation Provides aesthetically pleasing design elements When used together, selected products form MLT's Energy Efficient Roof System further reinforcing our belief that we must strive to perfect not only a roof s aesthetic form, but also its primary function. Only then can we provide our customers with a roofing solution unmatched by any other roofing company. Valleys Channeling water properly helps prevent it from collecting on the deck which can damage the underlayment and cause the roof deck and underlying structure to rot. Ribbed Valley Metal Vents It is estimated 75% of homes have deficient attic ventilation, which increases energy costs and diminishes the lifespan of roofing underlayments. These products ensure proper ventilation and help reduce energy costs. Brandguard Flame and Ember Resistant Vents Zephyr Vent Hip & Ridge Hips and ridge weather blocking helps prevent wind-driven rain, snow and other debris from entering the peaks and corners of a roof, and increases ventilation. Figaroll Zephyr Roll Zephyr Block MLT RidgeVent Fasteners While standard roofing nails are typically used according to local code requirements, MonierLifetile recommends premium fasteners that offer added performance and security.

ENERGY EFFICIENT Selected products part of the MonierLifetile Energy Efficient Roof System Flashing Proper flashings prevent water, snow and debris from entering joints where the walls meet the roof deck. The use of flashing creates the proper barrier in this situation. Wakaflex Ribbed Tile Pan Underlayment While tile is ultimately the first line of defense against the elements, underlayments provide a secondary level of protection directly on top of the roof deck from deterioration, moisture and leaks. MLT TileSeal RoofTopGuard II Eaves Proper eave treatment creates a finished look for the roof and enhances its overall functionality. By elevating the first course of tile to the proper height, it completes the overall aesthetic of the roof, and protection against infestation. Vented Eave Riser Eave Closure Anti-ponding Taper Strip Battens Our Elevated Battens are a crucial aspect of MonierLifetile s Energy Efficient Roof System, and improve the performance of any tile installation. They provide positive anchoring for each tile, raising each tile off the roof deck to provide ventilation and the unrestricted flow of any moisture on the underlayment.
