Upgrade your roof's durability and value by selecting Owens Corning's impact resistant shingles, engineered for superior storm protection and long-term performance in 2026.
Western Pennsylvania is no stranger to severe weather events, from hailstorms and high winds to sudden temperature fluctuations. For homeowners and commercial property managers alike, roofing systems must withstand these challenges to prevent costly water intrusion and structural damage. Impact resistant shingles are essential in safeguarding both the roof's surface and the underlying building components, especially when protecting assets against unpredictable conditions.
Roofs in the Pittsburgh region face unique demands due to the area's variable climate, making impact resistant shingles a smart investment. By prioritizing this feature, property owners can reduce maintenance costs, extend the lifespan of their roofing system, and avoid the disruptions caused by storm-related repairs.
Owens Corning's impact resistant shingles are engineered with advanced composite materials and reinforced nailing zones, providing exceptional durability against hail and debris. These shingles meet stringent UL 2218 Class 4 impact resistance standards, the highest rating available in the industry, which translates to superior performance during extreme weather.
Additional features include SureNail® Technology for enhanced wind uplift protection, integrated algae resistance to maintain roof aesthetics, and a robust fiberglass mat for structural integrity. These technical enhancements ensure that the shingles not only resist impact but also provide reliable protection against wind-driven rain and prolonged sun exposure.
Impact resistant shingles are designed to absorb and dissipate the energy from hailstones and wind-borne debris, preventing cracks and punctures that can lead to leaks. The reinforced layers in Owens Corning shingles act as a barrier, maintaining the roof's integrity even after repeated impacts during severe weather events.
In regions prone to ice storms and rapid freeze-thaw cycles, these shingles help prevent granule loss and premature aging. By reducing the risk of shingle displacement and water infiltration, property owners gain peace of mind knowing their roofing system is prepared for Western Pennsylvania's toughest storms.
Proper installation is critical for maximizing the performance of impact resistant shingles. Bella Construction & Development Inc. follows Owens Corning's best practices, ensuring correct nailing patterns, underlayment placement, and ventilation to meet local building codes and manufacturer specifications.
Owens Corning backs their impact resistant shingles with industry-leading limited lifetime warranties and specific coverage for wind and algae resistance. When installed by certified professionals, these warranties offer long-term protection and added value, supporting both residential and commercial clients' investment in quality roofing.
Modern impact resistant shingles from Owens Corning are engineered not only for strength, but also for energy efficiency and visual appeal. Select shingle lines include reflective granules that help reduce heat absorption, contributing to lower cooling costs and improved indoor comfort throughout the summer months.
With a wide range of colors and profiles available, property owners can enhance curb appeal while ensuring their roof meets today's performance standards. The combination of durability, efficiency, and attractive design makes Owens Corning impact resistant shingles an ideal choice for those seeking both protection and aesthetic value for their Western Pennsylvania property.
