Product description
The products are composite panels that are manufactured from recycled crumb rubber and binders. The materials are compounded in a proprietary formulation and moulded into panels that simulate a series of slate tiles or wood shakes.
The “EuroSlate®” and “EuroShake® ” panels (see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , respectively) are 900 mm long × 560 mm wide with an exposure area of 0.23 m2 each. The panels are installed by sliding the horizontal groove of the panel over the tongue of the panel below and connecting the spacer pin while making sure to stagger the panel joints. Installation of the panels starts at the left side of the roof.

Figure 2. “EuroShake®”
The “EuroLite Slate®” and “EuroLite Shake® ” panels (see Figure 3 and Figure 4 , respectively) are 1 000 mm long × 430 mm wide with an exposure area of 1.25 m2. The panels include an adhesive strip on the underside which is used in addition to the nails to fasten the panels. The panels are installed from left to right by interlocking the space tabs between the adjacent panels and by resting the raised nibs located on the underside of the panels on the top of the previous row of panels.

Conditions and limitations
The CCMC’s compliance opinion is bound by this product 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 4.
- 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 underlayment consisting of one layer of No. 15 asphalt-saturated felt must be used throughout the entire roof in conjunction with the panels.
- The panels must be used in conjunction with eave protection in conformance with Article 9.26.5.1., Required Eave Protection, 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.
- Ventilation space must be provided in compliance with Subsection 9.19.1., Venting, of Division B of the NBC 2010. For cathedral ceilings, a minimum 50-mm vented space must be provided between the roof sheathing and the insulation.
- The panels are limited to installations where no fire-resistance rating is required.
- The wind load resistance design value for the panels has been validated for up to 170 km/h.
- The panels must be installed with galvanized nails in conformance with Article 9.26.2.2, Nails, of Division B of the NBC 2010.
- Only the manufacturer’s approved sealants are to be used in conjunction with the panels.
- The panels must be installed in conformance with the manufacturer’s installation manual.

Administrative information
Disclaimer
This evaluation is issued by the Canadian Construction Materials Centre (CCMC), a part of the Construction Research Centre at the National Research Council of Canada (NRC). The evaluation must be read in the context of the entire CCMC Registry of Product Assessments and the legislated applicable building code in effect.
The CCMC was established in 1988 on behalf of the applicable regulator (i.e., the provinces and territories) to ensure—through assessment—conformity of alternative and acceptable solutions to regional building codes as determined by the local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) as part of the issuance of a building permit.
It is the responsibility of the local AHJs, design professionals, and specifiers to confirm that the evaluation is current and has not been withdrawn or superseded by a later issue. Please refer to the website or contact:
