Oh, and Joe Hagarty… “manufacturer’s recomendations” is not the correct answer.
Darrell, nope… keep guessing.
Sorry Nick…that’s the slipperest I’ve come accross? but I’m sure I haven’t seen em all. I guess I’ll find out in a few minutes though. I’m just amazed to be the first to answer…that’s a win all in it’s self! even if it’s wrong.
It’s a tough question.
Would that be clay tile roofing.
Due to the surface of a fired clay a glazed surface exists and has a low friction co-efficient. Dirt would probably assist with slide factor… I would not walk this roof even when dry not for just damage reasons but “sliding reasons”…
Wood shake or shingle roofs I have found to be very slippery when performing work in the wet months… But I guess all roof types are found to be slippery when wet…
But a “slippery when dry” roof is hard to come buy… LOL
How about asbestos-cement shingles.
Slate
I’ll give you a hint… there is a class action settlement regarding this roofing material.
Cement, Nature Guard shingles
Masonite roofing
The suspense is killing me,…I can’t think of anything as slippery as a sheet metal roof. They use them alot in the mountains and areas with heavy snow loads as it just slides right off.???
American Cemwood Cement/Wood Fiber Roofing Shakes
