PART 2 – PRODUCTS
2.01 Manufacturer
A. Materials to be supplied by KP Building Products Ltd.,
www.kp poducts.com
B. Substitutions not permitted.
2.02 Materials
A. Perfection Single 7” Shingle shall conform to all of the
requirements established in ASTM Specification D7254,
developed in cooperation with the industry and published by the
American Society for Testing and Materials. Manufacturer shall
maintain rigorous production quality control standards to assure
that KP Building Products Perfection Single 7” Shingle will
perform as expected for its intended use.
B. Typical Properties: KP Building Products Perfection Shingles
are molded manufactured from modified polypropylene
copolymer. The material has a solid color throughout and is UV
stabilized. Strict control of color is assurance for outstanding
weatherability.
Test Criteria: Typical Properties
Tensile Strength (ASTM D638): 3200 psi
Yield elongation (ASTM D638): 5%
Notched Izod Impact @73
0
F (ASTM D 256): ≥ 2 ft-lb/in
C. Fire Resistance Properties:
Flame Spread Index (ASTM E84): 103
Smoke Developed Index (ASTM E84): 746
Burn rate (ASTM D635): < 1inch/minute
Minimum self-ignition temperature (ASTM D1929): 690°F
Meets NFPA 268 acceptance criteria
Fire safety:
When exposed to considerable heat or flame, polypropylene
Perfection Shingles when tested in conformance with recognized
fire test procedures, will soften, melt or burn, and may possibly
expose the material underneath. Care needs to be taken when
selecting underlayment materials because many are made from
organic materials that are combustible. Fire properties of
underlayment materials must be established prior to their
installation. Ali burnable materials should be installed in
accordance with local, state (provincial), and federal fire
regulations and building codes.
D. Typical Physical Properties:
Test Criteria: Typical Properties
Impact Resistance (ASTM D4226):
42.87 in-lbf (Procedure A, H.25)
Windload Resistance: meets requirements of ASTM D7254
when tested as per ASTM D5206.
Weathering Requirements: KP Building Products Perfection
Shingles are continually tested for weatherability in both light and
dark colors. KP Building Products Perfection Shingles are
manufactured from the highest quality outdoor material that is
designed specifically for exterior applications.
E. Dimensions and Description:
KP Building Products Perfection Single 7” Shingles are molded
from natural cedar wood shingles, and are appropriate for use in
new construction and remodeling. They look like wood shingles
but do not require the maintenance that is common to wood
