Ppuring Rain Greatest Danger To Home If Wind Damages Roof

When a severe windstorm damages the roof of a house, the resulting dollar loss to the home owner frequently is far greater than the mere cost of reroofing. The worst damage often is caused by deluging rains that almost always follow high winds.

rooting materials and application techniques, especially in exposed locations or areas subject to severe storms. Three principal methods of applying asphalt shingles to resist winds are used with confidence by roofing contractors from coast to coast: 1. Self-sealing method.

Threetab, square-butt shingles, the most popular of all asphalt shingles, are sealed down with a spot of quick-setting asphalt cement under each tab. The cement provides a firm, windresistant bond. -These wind resistant applications of asphalt shingles have been tested in wind tunnels and in actual use.
