Style Meets Protection with Class 4 Shingles

Style Meets Protection with Class 4 Shingles

How much time do you spend worrying about your roof? For most people, the answer is, very little time. Then disaster strikes, and you are forced to take a longer look. While researching replacement shingle styles and options, you may run across information on Class 4 shingles. These shingles are a perfect combination of style and protection in rough weather.

What is a Class 4 rating?

Underwriters Laboratories (UL), a global independent safety science company, conducts a standard of impact resistance test to simulate the collision of hail on a shingle. The test is administered by dropping a steel ball directly onto the shingle. If the shingle does not show evidence of damage, a bigger steel ball is then dropped from a greater height. This process continues until the fourth and final level, where an undamaged shingle will earn a Class 4 rating, the highest in impact resistance.
