      What are UL 2218 Class 4 Impact-Resistant shingles?

      Timberline® AS II Shingles are made with our proprietary SBS-modified asphalt formulation and pass UL’s toughest impact-resistance test — UL 2218 Class 4¹. That means they can really take a punch from Mother Nature.


      ¹Timberline® AS II Shingles are not warranted to withstand hail damage.

      UL 2218 Class 4 Impact-Resistance Test

      A 2” steel ball is dropped twice from a 20-foot height onto various target locations

      to evaluate the shingles’ ability to withstand the impact.

      How do impact-resistant shingles work?

      SBS polymer–modified asphalt technology helps protect your home from the elements. Polymer modification makes asphalt more durable, rubber-like, and super-flexible — to help reduce stress when impacted. When this material is used to make roofing shingles, it results in a shingle with excellent flexibility and durability, plus increased impact resistance.
