In Kerala’s tropical climate, roofs face a variety of challenges — heavy monsoons, intense sunlight, high winds, and occasional hail. For homeowners, the key to long-lasting protection lies in choosing the right shingles. Impact-resistant shingles are engineered to withstand extreme weather conditions while maintaining aesthetic appeal and durability.
At Scaffs India, we provide advanced roofing solutions that combine strength, style, and energy efficiency for homes and cottages across Kerala.
1. What Are Impact-Resistant Shingles?
Impact-resistant shingles, also known as high-performance shingles, are designed to endure physical impact from hail, falling debris, or severe winds. Manufactured with multiple layers of asphalt and reinforced with fiberglass or polymer blends, these shingles resist cracking, splitting, and granule loss.
Scaffs India’s offerings include:
Architectural Roofing Shingles – multi-layered for durability.
Premium Designer Shingles – combining strength with high-end aesthetics.
2. Protection Against Hail
Hailstorms can cause severe damage to traditional shingles, creating cracks, dents, and granule loss. Impact-resistant shingles undergo rigorous UL 2218 testing, rated Class 4 — the highest standard for hail resistance.
By choosing shingles like Dynasty Roofing Shingles, homeowners can ensure their roof withstands hail without compromising on style or function.
3. Heat and UV Protection
Kerala’s tropical sun can accelerate shingle wear, leading to fading, cracking, or curling. Impact-resistant shingles are often manufactured with UV-resistant granules and reflective coatings, reducing heat absorption and extending roof lifespan.
Pairing them with energy-efficient underlayments and products like Solar Roof Tiles – Tejas Borja can improve indoor comfort while lowering electricity bills.
4. Wind and Storm Resistance
High winds can lift and tear shingles, leaving the roof vulnerable to leaks. Impact-resistant shingles feature strong adhesive strips and reinforced edges to withstand wind uplift, protecting your home during storms.
Scaffs India also offers roofing solutions compatible with wooden cottages, A-frame cottages, and mudroom cottages, combining resilience with visual appeal.
5. Longevity and Low Maintenance
Impact-resistant shingles provide longer-lasting performance than traditional 3-tab shingles. With proper installation, quality underlayment, and routine inspections, they can last 30–50 years, resisting cracking, granule loss, and algae growth.
For homeowners seeking both durability and luxury, options like Armourshake Premium Designer Shingles offer robust protection with high-end aesthetics.
6. Complete Roofing Systems for Maximum Protection
A high-performing roof depends on the system as a whole. This includes:
High-quality underlayment for moisture control (accessory products)
Proper ventilation to prevent heat and moisture buildup
Professional installation by experts at Scaffs India
Our team ensures that every layer — from underlayment to impact-resistant shingles — contributes to long-term safety and performance.
