Class 4 Impact Resistant Shingles — 28% Insurance Savings & Hail Defense in NWA
Living in Northwest Arkansas means accepting that severe hail storms are not a matter of 'if', but 'when'. Standard fiberglass shingles crack and lose granules during 1.25" to 1.5" hail events.
UL 2218 Class 4 Impact Resistant shingles are engineered with SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) polymer-modified asphalt. Instead of brittle asphalt that shatters, SBS shingles behave like rubber, absorbing and deflecting the kinetic energy of falling hail.
