What to Expect:
Join IBHS for this in-person Disaster Dynamics Academy: Roofing Roadmaps – Setting Expectations in Roof Cover Performance.
Fulfilling a strategic commitment to provide guidance on the relative performance of roofs against wind and hail, IBHS has launched Roofing Roadmaps. This DDA will feature IBHS experts and focus on outlining the wind and hail performance of three primary U.S. residential roof cover types: asphalt shingle, metal, and tile. This event will concentrate on the following themes:
- Understand the fundamentals of these roof cover compositions, testing standards, and installation.
- Learn about the natural weathering that occurs, as well as environmental extremes that roofs endure, how these conditions influence roof aging, and the different distress types that can affect roof performance in severe weather.
- Dive deep into the wind and hail performance of each roof cover type based on IBHS research from the lab and field observations.
Through lab demonstrations and presentations, attendees will develop an understanding of the wind and hail vulnerabilities of the most common roofing materials and gain insight on how these roofing materials are driving insurance losses. Sessions will include the strengths and weaknesses of each material. Attendees will also learn how IBHS is advancing its Roofing Roadmaps strategy and engaging with roofing manufacturers to inform expectations around roof cover performance.
