New building codes

California Building Code chapter 7A (new codes, effective January 2008,
are for new construction only)

SECTION
704A.2.3: Eave protection. Eaves and soffits shall meet the requirement of SFM 12-7A3 or shall be protected by ignition resistant material or non-combustible construction on the exposed underside.

Eaves and overhangs are a common spot for embers to get caught; enough of them swirling around dry wood could start a fire.

DisasterSafety.org says, ”box in the eaves, fascias, soffits and subfloors with fire resistant materials…”

When it comes to helping protect your home from fire, consider that James Hardie fiber-cement soffit is fire-resistant. Our soffit panels also resist fungus and mildew.

Our state of the art material does not ignite or melt. It is an approved non-combustible material by the International Code of Builders, Organization (ICBO).
