CHDT) today announced that industry-leading
testing firm IRT has completed the foam assembly process testing for the
China-manufactured Clay Roofing Tiles to be sold by China Direct's Overseas
Building Supply (OBS) subsidiary.
Final foam assembly testing results show that the company's clay roofing
tile exceeded Metro-Dade County acceptance requirements for adhesion with foam
by a magnitude of two times. Final assembly testing involves building mock-up
roofs to show how the tiles are installed using the three most commonly used
methods -- foam, nails and mortar -- and then using mechanical devices to
measure the force required to detach them from the test roof. The foam
assembly testing report is available at www.chdt.us/foam.pdf
John D'Annunzio, CEO of IRT Inc. said, "We have completed all the physical
properties testing for Metro-Dade certification and China Direct Clay Roof
tiles have tested significantly above industry and building code standards.
For the assembly testing we test to system failure, and in the case of the
foam assembly process testing the China Direct tiles not only tested to an
adhesion rate of 132 pounds, over twice that of the code requirement of 60
pounds, but at point of failure it was the assembly foam that lost adhesion,
and the tile did not break."
OBS tiles previously surpassed the basic physical requirements tests for
compression, permeability and absorption, winning Dade County code approval.
The final assembly test results were submitted to Dade County Product Approval
dept. last Friday and the company looks forward to receiving their NOA (Notice
of Acceptance) on or before July 21st. The company now can begin selling tiles
anywhere in the world except Dade and Broward Counties. Upon receipt of Dade
County's NOA the company can then sell tiles in Dade and Broward Counties
where homeowners are waiting one year for tile deliveries. At current
production capacity OBS can deliver up to 2.5 million tiles per month at an
average price of $2.00 each.
"We knew our tiles were strong, but these testing results exceeded even
our highest expectations," said Howard Ullman, Chairman and CEO of China
Direct Trading Corp. "The high-quality glaze we use on our clay tiles also
make them self-cleaning in heavy rains, which when combined with their
superior strength make for a very low-maintenance and long-lasting roof tile
that is ideal for the South Florida market."
