ClimateFlex® in Action

ClimateFlex technology combines our durable roofing asphalt with the performance benefits of rubberizing polymers. This results in impact-resistant shingles that offer an industry-leading Class 4 rating (UL Classified to UL 2218) for protection against hail damage and hail impact, as well as superior surface granule adhesion and all-weather performance that protects year round in almost any climate or condition.

Save on Insurance

In addition to protecting your home from hail storms, impact-resistant asphalt shingles (also known as IR shingles) may also save you on insurance premiums. Contact your insurance carrier to see if they provide a discount for owning an impact-resistant roof.

Cold-Weather-Friendly

The rubberizing aspects of ClimateFlex technology also provide cold-weather-friendly pliability, allowing contractors to handle and install ClimateFlex shingles in temperatures that turn standard shingles stiff and brittle.
