Each week, The Construction Specifier brings you a quick quiz based on one of our featured articles in The Construction Specifier Express e-newsletter. This week’s quiz is from Specifying Fire-Resistant Roofs[2] by Greg Keeler, technical services leader at Owens Corning[3]. As wildfires intensify, fire-resistant roofs are critical in Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) areas. The article explores classifications, testing, and material innovations that enhance fire safety in roofing assemblies.

Take this week’s questions and challenge yourself!
