I am interested in wind ratings for tile roofs vs composition or other type roofs. I note there are relative strength ratings for hail. Is there any data for impact from golf balls?
I’m afraid we do not have data specific to golf ball impact, due to the number of variables involved. We do however have an excellent track record against hail and offer a hail warranty aginst damage up 1 1/2″ hailstones. Our experience on golf courses is actually quite good as well although I would recommend keeping some spare tiles around for the occasional ball that hits “just right”. Regarding the wind issue attached to your “annual hurricanes”, there are special methods of attachment that have been developed specifically for your region. The type of fastening will be determined by the type of tile, application and slope of your roof. You can have your contractor contact us for further instructions once you are ready for that information. I have 4 skylights in the upper 13 of my existing shake roof. I am considering reroofing in Duralite Shake, but am concerned I would not be able to get onto the roof to clean the skylights.
