Impact Resistant (IR) Shingles are a manufactured to prevent future and extensive hail damage. They are referred to as a brilliant breakthrough in the roofing industry. IR shingles have an added fiberglass backing. The backing provides an enhanced level of impact resistant protection over and above the high durability these popular, strong shingles already possess. The shingles often allow insurance companies to give their clients homeowner insurance discount if installed.

WHY IR SHINGLES?

Homeowners who are considering building, remodeling, or repairing their homes are encouraged to consider impact-resistant roofing. Impact-resistive roofing is available in many forms such as asphalt shingles, concrete tile and metal. While impact-resistive roofing looks the same as roofing material used today, it tends to stand up much better to hail.

According to State Farm spokesman Roszell Gadson, “Impact resistant roofing can certainly save homeowners money because some insurers, including State Farm, offer an annual discount on premiums for qualifying roofs.”

Perhaps even more important is the protection you’re adding for your home and contents if the roof you invest in does a better job of keeping the elements out. The roof you choose is your home’s first line of defense in a storm.
