Everyone prefers roofing products with the best hail resistance. Hail is a destructive force. While the destruction is readily apparent on cars and glass surfaces, roof damage from hail isn't always obvious. If a shingled roof is hit by a hail storm, you might not even realize at first. Hail causes expensive damage to roofs every year, but sometimes, building owners don't even realize that hail is the culprit.
See, by the time hail damage on a roof is obvious, people don't even remember the storm! This is why independent testing is crucial for roofing products. If you see a product has an FRMC Hail Resistance Certification, that means it's been independently tested.
FMRC is short for Factory Mutual Research Corporation. FMRC offers independent testing for hail resistance. How well can a product stand up against this powerful force of nature? FMRC can tell you.
FMRC Certifications
FMRC certifies two categories of hail resistance. Class 1 hail resistance is known as "SH" or "Severe Hail Resistance." Meanwhile, Class 2 hail resistance is known as "MH" or "Moderate Hail Resistance." Obviously, roofing products with an FMRC Severe Hail Resistance Certification stands up against hail damage better than products with an FMRC Moderate Hail Resistance Certification.
