Rating your roof for damage
One of the most significant improvements in residential roofing
materials is its resistance to hail storm damage. The leading roofing materials
manufacturers provide warrantees for roofing systems that can withstand 130-mph
winds and up to 2-inch diameter hail stones. Consider some typical hail damage for
different types of home roof materials:
- Asphalt shingles are
damaged by hail as small as 1 inch in diameter
- Fiberglass and cedar
shingles suffer damage when hail reaches 1¼-inches in diameter
- Wood shakes start
showing damage when hail size reaches 1½-inches
- Concrete S-tiles start
showing damage when hail reaches around 2 inches
Hail storms are a significant threat to roofing integrity as some
weather experts consider hail stones that are over ½ - 1 inch to be a serious
alert. Significantly more destruction is caused when hail is driven by a
60-mile-per-hour wind opposed to hail falling in light wind.
