Now architects can design commercial and institutional downtown buildings for the inner fire areas of most major cities with natural cedar shingle roofs. Together, Koppers f ire-protected cedar shingles and Koppers special plastic-coated steel foil underlay comprise the first wood shingle roofing system to be as- signed an Underwriters' Class "B" rating-a rating required for building in many densely populated urban areas.

By themselves, Koppers fire and weather-resistant shingles stifl rate a "C." You obtain the new "B" rating by using these shingles in conjunction with the special foil underlay, which is ap- plied to a minimum r/2" untrealed plywood roof deck. Koppers cedar shingle roof slstems are today's newest, most sophisticated downtown look.
