Protect your house with a roof to withstand Rough Weather (NAPSA)-While severe weather seems to be on the rise in the U.S.-the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says severe, often record-breaking snow, cold, drought, heat, floods, tornadoes and hurricanes combined to reach the greatest number of multibillion-dollar weather disasters in the nation's history-you can stay safe at home. What You Can Do The best place to start is with a durable roof backed by a solid warranty. There are many different types of sturdy roofs available for residential applications. One of the most durable, proven to perform well in all climates, is Class 4 asphalt shingles. These shingles carry the highest impact resistance rating set by Underwriters Laboratories, an independent, not-for-profit product safety testing and certification organization. What Works Fortunately, a building products manufacturer in business for more than a century offers a variety of asphalt shingles. Each impact-resistant shingle option, such as the heavyweight Presidential Shake IR, has added fiberglass backing. This enhances the impact resistance over and above the industry's already high standards, so the shingles can withstand the impact of a 2-inch steel ball dropped from 20 feet without cracking-and hailstones at 90 mph. Most CertainTeed IR-rated shingles also include a lifetime limited warranty against de-
fects and a standard 15-year, 110-mph-wind warranty provision. Additionally, some insurance companies offer homeowners a discount on their insurance policy for these types of shingles.
