Enjoy Superior Protection With Impact-Resistant Roofing Shingles
What Are Hail-Resistant Shingles?
Hail-resistant shingles are Class 4 roofing materials that help protect your home from hail damage by making your roof stronger and more durable.
They're made with exceptionally strong materials such as polymer-based mesh or rubber-like polymers, such as SBS (styrene-butadiene-styrene) so they can withstand impact without cracking or breaking apart. As a result, these roofs last longer and don't require as much maintenance over time!
Why Does Your Home Need Hail-Resistant Shingles?
Did you know the Front Range is located in the heart of Hail Storm Alley? In fact, the Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association (RMIIA) reports that this area receives at least three to four catastrophic hail storms each and every year.
Because Colorado’s damaging hail storm season typically lasts from mid-April to mid-September, you want to ensure your roof and home are prepared to weather these severe storms.
When Should You Install Hail-Resistant Shingles?
If you’re building a new home or upgrading your existing home with renovations, this is the perfect time to install impact-resistant roofing.
That being said, if your roof is 15-20 years old and it’s time for a replacement, this is also a great time to install stronger, more durable shingles.
Additionally, if you’ve recently experienced hail damage to your roof, protect it from damage in the future with hail-resistant shingles.

Why Are Hail-Resistant Roofing Shingles Superior to Others?
Impact-resistant shingles are designed specifically for strength and durability. That being said, while all roofing materials undergo intense testing to meet certain standards, impact-resistant shingles come out on top with a Class 4 impact rating.
During a Class 4 impact resistance test, a two-inch diameter steel ball is dropped on a shingle from 20 feet above to mimic the impact of a hailstone. The test is repeated on the same spot on the shingle at least twice. Once the test is complete, the backside of the shingle is thoroughly inspected for visible damage such as cracking, tearing, splitting, or fracturing. If there’s no evidence of damage, it is rated as a Class 4 — the most durable roofing shingle available for protecting homes against hail storms!
What Does Hail Actually Do to a Roof?
When hail hits your roof, it can cause the shingles to break or crack, leaving your roof exposed to additional damage. Hail also damages the asphalt and can loosen the granules covering the shingle itself, reducing your roof’s ability to fully protect the interior of a home. Not only that, but hail can also:
- Tear the roof’s underlayment
- Leave your roof/inner layer at risk for mold growth and/or wood rot
- Cause damage over time that contributes to water infiltration in your attic
- Leave your home exposed to unwanted pest intrusions
What Are the Benefits of Impact-Resistant Shingles?
Unlike non-impact resistant roofing shingles, hail-resistant shingles offer a long list of benefits that provide homeowners just like you with superior peace of mind throughout Colorado’s damaging hail season.
