Impact Resistant Shingles

Why Commercial Roofers Recommend Impact Resistant Shingles

Impact Resistant Roof Shingles RIStrength and durability to withstand just about anything Mother Nature throws at them is one reason to choose impact resistant shingles. For a shingle to earn the designation “Impact Resistant” they had to prove they were. To test their resistance, a 2” steel ball is dropped from a height of 20 feet. If the shingle cracks, it fails this designation. Few shingles on the market today pass this test without cracking.

They offer a unique benefit to many building owners. When you install impact resistant shingles with the UL2218 Class 4 designation, ask your agent if your structure qualifies for a discount on your property insurance.
