What Is Hail Resistant Euroshield Roof?
A hail-resistant roof is generally considered to be able to withstand hailstones two inches in diameter or less without suffering damage. Two-inch hail is roughly the size of a standard egg.
All Euroshield® roofs are warrantied for this size of the hailstone. However, we have gone a step further and created hail-proof roofing solutions that are proven to withstand impact from hailstones up to four inches in diameter (that’s roughly the size of a softball!). All of our products are warranted for 50 years against hail of two inches or less in diameter.
Euroshield® rubber roofing shingles are made of approximately 95% recycled material. These eco-friendly rubber shingles can withstand extreme heat, wind, rain, snow, and yes, even hail. Our extremely strong, eye-catching and environmentally-friendly green rubber roofing shingles were born from years of intensive research.
- Vermont Slate HP: This is our stunning new hail-proof, slate-look offering. It features a “photo-realistic” slate-textured surface and is sold at a price point between asphalt shingles and premium roofing products such as metal roofing, synthetics, cedar, and slate. However, unlike these other roofing materials, Vermont Slate HP is factory warrantied against hail impact damage of any size for the first 20 years. After that, it reverts to the standard warranty for hail of two-inch diameter or less for 30 years. This is the only product available that offers a warranty against any size hail.
- Vermont Slate: This is our most realistic slate look, without the weight or expense associated with real slate. It is covered by a two-inch diameter (or less) hail damage warranty for 50 years.
- Ranchlands Shake: Available in a hand-split look, this provides the classic wood appearance without worrying about mold, excess moisture absorption, curling, warping, or cracking.
- Beaumont Shake: Lighter weight than Ranchlands Shake, this still supplies considerable strength and durability. It is sold at a price point between asphalt shingles and premium roofing products such as metal roofing, synthetics, cedar, and slate.
- Rundle Slate: This replicates extra-thick, chiseled-edge slate, adding a touch of class to your roof. Weighing close to a laminated asphalt shingle roof, Rundle Slate® is free of the structural concerns of traditional slate roofing. Like all Euroshield® roofing products, this long-lasting rubber roof cannot be damaged by walking on it.
What Type of Roof is Best for Hail In Strathmore?
Rubber roofing shingles are the material of choice for protecting your home from hail damage. Why?
- Euroshield® roofing shingles achieve the highest official hail-proof rating in the industry (UL2218 Class 4 for Impact).
- All products are tested at independent laboratories recognized by the Canadian Construction Materials Council (CCMC), the ICC (USA), and listed by QAI.
- All products qualify for the maximum insurance discount available for hail impact from insurers offering such discounts.
- To further back it all up, we have pushed our product beyond the industry-standard testing with no concerns and that is why we offer a generous Limited Lifetime Warranty on all of our roofing products.
With the significant hail-related losses that homeowners suffer, knowing that your Euroshield® roof materials are fully covered should provide peace of mind. In 20 years of operations, Euroshield® has never had to replace one of its panels due to hail damage. It is extremely unlikely that it will ever happen, but our warranty on all roofing materials is there for you in case it ever does.
