The Industry's First Asphalt Shingle System with a Hail Warranty
HailGuard™ shingles are engineered with ImpactCore™ technology — a next-generation asphalt formulation and advanced fiberglass mat that work together at the material level to withstand hail impacts. They're not just Class 4 impact rated — they're tested at energies exceeding the UL 2218 Class 4 standard.
And instead of relying on a rating alone, HailGuard™ is backed by the industry's first and only hail warranty for an asphalt shingle system — up to 20 years of hail-specific protection when installed by a certified contractor like Sands Roofing .
Why HailGuard?
20-Year Hail Warranty
The first and only asphalt shingle system with a hail-specific warranty — covering leaks from hail 3" or less in diameter.
Beyond Class 4 Rated
Tested at impact energies exceeding UL 2218 Class 4 standards. HailGuard doesn't just meet the bar — it raises it.
160 MPH Wind Warranty
When installed as part of the TAMKO Complete® roofing system, HailGuard shingles are eligible for a 160 MPH wind warranty.
Potential Insurance Savings
Class 4 impact rated shingles may qualify for insurance premium discounts. Homeowners may also avoid paying a deductible after a hailstorm.
