Class 4 Impact-Resistant Roofing in Northwest Arkansas
Class 4 impact-resistant shingles are designed to provide added protection against hail and severe weather. Roofing & Gutter Experts can help you compare impact-resistant roofing options and determine whether a Class 4 roofing system makes sense for your home.
Understanding Impact Ratings
What Is Class 4 Roofing?
Class 4 is the highest impact-resistance classification under the UL 2218 testing standard commonly used for roofing materials. Shingles that earn a Class 4 rating are designed to better withstand impact than standard roofing products.
That does not mean a Class 4 roof is hail-proof or cannot be damaged during a severe storm. Instead, the rating gives homeowners another way to compare roofing products when durability and impact resistance are important considerations.
01
Higher Impact Resistance
Class 4 products are tested to meet a higher level of impact resistance than lower-rated roofing materials.
02
Designed for Added Protection
Impact-resistant shingles can provide an added layer of protection in areas that regularly experience hail and severe weather.
03
More Than Just Durability
Today’s impact-resistant shingles are available in a variety of colors and styles, so added performance does not have to mean sacrificing curb appeal.
Built for Severe Weather
Benefits of Impact-Resistant Roofing
For homeowners in a region that regularly experiences hail, wind, and severe storms, impact-resistant roofing can offer several advantages beyond a standard roofing system.
Severe Weather Protection
A more impact-resistant roofing system can be a valuable consideration for homes exposed to the unpredictable weather common throughout Northwest Arkansas.
Long-Term Performance
Quality impact-resistant roofing products are designed with durability and long-term roofing performance in mind.
Insurance Considerations
Some insurance carriers may offer discounts or other considerations for qualifying impact-resistant roofing systems. Availability depends on your carrier, policy, and roofing product.
