WASHINGTON, IOWA—BRAVA Roof Tile, the United States’ leading manufacturer of authentic, high-performance synthetic roofing, is pleased to share an important update for the roofing industry: the revised Florida OIR-B1-1802 Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form now lists “Synthetic/Composite Tile” as a roof covering type in the Roof Covering section.
This update represents a meaningful step forward in recognizing modern roofing materials that deliver the look of traditional slate, cedar shake, and clay tile while offering the performance benefits of advanced composite technology.
For years, synthetic and composite roofing products have continued to gain traction among homeowners, contractors, architects, builders, insurers, code officials, and distribution partners. This inclusion helps provide clearer recognition of these products within the broader roof covering category and supports better alignment across specifications, installation, evaluation, and industry communication.
“This is the kind of progress our industry has been working toward,” says Adam Brantman, CEO of Brava Roof Tile. “At Brava, education has always been crucial, from our contractors to those they are building for. This update validates the work and testing we do day in and day out and helps us move towards a more sustainable future.”
Focused on Premium Synthetic Roofing Products
Brava has been at the forefront of advancing the composite roofing category. As a manufacturer focused exclusively on premium synthetic roofing products, Brava has helped lead the conversation around proper recognition, education, installation standards, specification clarity, and market adoption of composite tile roofing. This milestone reflects the kind of progress Brava has been working toward: bringing clarity, credibility, and momentum to a category that continues to reshape the future of steep-slope roofing.
The revised form continues to require project-specific information such as permit application date, FBC or Miami-Dade Product Approval number, and year of installation or replacement, where applicable. As always, code compliance, product approval, and insurance eligibility should be confirmed using the official form, approved product documentation, and guidance from the applicable authority or insurer.
“This is more than a terminology update,” adds Brantman. “It signals that the market is recognizing what contractors, architects, homeowners, and industry professionals have already seen firsthand: synthetic and composite tiles are a legitimate, high-performance roof covering solution.”
Brava will continue to lead education, advocacy, product innovation, and partnership as the roofing industry moves forward. To learn more about BRAVA’s synthetic roofing solutions, visit bravarooftile.com.
