What is a Class 4 impact-resistant roof?
A Class 4 rating, which is the highest rating for impact resistance, a roofing shingle must withstand having a 2-inch steel ball dropped multiple times from a height of 20 feet.
This was standardized across North America as the UL2218 (Underwriters Laboratories Inc.) or FM4473 (Factory Mutual Approvals )
There are many types of shingle looks and materials such as asphalt and rubber shingles that can meet these criteria. For a full list of available options please contact us. Or you can browse our most popular roof replacement options here.
