Impact Certification
PABCO® Roofing Products, a manufacturer of premium asphalt shingles, announced that its full Signature Cut line has earned the UL 2218 Class 4 impact resistance rating. This certification now extends beyond the Prestige® shingles, which achieved this rating in 2023, to include the Paramount®, Cascade™, and Paramount Advantage® shingles, making the entire Signature Cut collection a top-tier choice for homeowners seeking both beauty and durability.
The Signature Cut line is defined by its distinct, non-traditional shingle shapes, designed to offer a luxury aesthetic that sets them apart from standard asphalt shingles. These high-end products combine exceptional performance with unique visual appeal, making them ideal for customers looking to enhance the curb appeal of their homes while ensuring reliable, long-lasting protection.
A standout product in the Signature Cut collection is the Cascade shingle, recognized for its one-of-a-kind patented diamond shape. This innovative design adds a timeless architectural element to any roof, and with its new UL 2218 Class 4 impact resistance certification, Cascade is now as versatile for Class 4 applications as it is striking.
Benefits of PABCO’s impact-resistant shingles include: superior protection of the roof’s underlying structure and contents; compliance with strict building codes in regions prone to severe weather; increased home value through enhanced durability and luxury appeal; potential discounts on homeowners insurance in qualifying states; and peace of mind during extreme weather events.
“Expanding the UL 2218 Class 4 impact resistance to our complete Signature Cut line, including Paramount, Cascade, and Paramount Advantage, demonstrates our commitment to delivering roofing solutions that combine aesthetic appeal with robust performance,” said Gerry Kilian, Director of Sales and Marketing at PABCO Roofing Products. “Contractors now have a fully certified, high-quality range of products to offer customers seeking durable, impact-resistant options.”
With this expanded certification, PABCO Roofing Products continues their commitment to delivering innovative, high-performance roofing materials. Available in a range of styles, the Signature Cut line provides elegant roofing solutions for both new construction and roof replacements, offering unmatched durability without compromising on aesthetics.
