Benefits of Impact Resistant Shingles

impact resistant shingles

Here in Central Arkansas and the surrounding regions, we know all too well about unpredictable weather. Hailstorms, high winds, and driving rain can wreak havoc on homes, leaving homeowners with costly repairs and unnecessary stress. 

Hailstorms are causing significant damage across the US, with costs exceeding $1 billion in 2021 alone. This trend of increasing hail damage has led insurance companies to raise premiums and deductibles, especially in areas prone to hail. To better manage these risks, insurers are turning to advanced technologies like AI and weather modeling for improved prediction and risk assessment.

At Patriot Roofing & Restoration, our community deserves the most protection, so we proudly offer Atlas impact-resistant shingles.

The Power of Class 4: Unmatched Durability

Atlas’s Class 4 impact-resistant shingles, like the StormMaster® Shake and StormMaster Slate lines, are designed to withstand the harshest weather conditions. These shingles undergo rigorous testing and meet the stringent UL 2218 standard, which simulates the impact of 90-mph hailstones.

A Standard of Excellence

In 1996, insurance industry experts joined forces with the Institute of Business and Home Safety (IBHS) and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) to establish an impact-resistance rating system for roofing shingles. This system is called UL 2218 and has become the national standard for evaluating shingle durability. Roofing shingles are classified from Class 1 to Class 4. (Class 4 represents the highest level of impact resistance.) This rigorous testing ensures that only the toughest and most durable shingles receive the Class 4 rating.

Think of it as a shield for your home. Engineered with Core4™ Enhanced Polymer Technology, this rubber-like quality absorbs impact, preventing fractures and damage that traditional shingles are susceptible to.

Beyond Hail: Protection From Wind and Rain

It’s not just hail you need to worry about. Gale-force winds and wind-driven rain can also cause significant damage to your roof. Impact-resistant shingles defend against these elements, so your home remains protected even in the most severe storms.

We want our customers to have peace of mind, knowing their investment is secure. With Atlas Class 4 shingles, you’re not just getting a roof; you’re getting a long-term solution that will safeguard your home for years to come.

Investing in impact-resistant shingles can also mean financial savings. Many home insurance companies offer policy discounts for homes with Class 4 shingles, meaning you can save money while enhancing your home’s security.
