FORTIFIED is a construction method that goes beyond building code requirements issued to counter nature-related hazards such as sharp-hitting hail, high winds and hurricanes. The standards of this program were developed based on extensive knowledge gathered within 20 years by strong-willed researchers. Needless to say, this program provides homeowners the assurance that their homes or roofs are built to last a long time.
The entry-level designation of FORTIFIED Roof™ specifically means having a resilient and structurally sound roofing article. Residential roofing contractors with this designation are evidently proud to offer strong roofs to their consumers, ensuring them a better quality of living.
Advantages of a FORTIFIED Roof
Installing new roofs at the FORTIFIED Roof level has impressive benefits, including the following:
1. Focused protection by going beyond the typical requirements of strengthening the roof—your home’s main defense against extreme weather elements
2. Lower maintenance costs due to improved roof sheathing and roof deck
3. Safer home conditions because of minimal chances of ventilation issues
4. Energy-efficiency and environmental responsibility
5. Higher property value
To add, studies done by the IBHS—the issuing body of FORTIFIED Roof—shows that when water infiltrates a home through an exposed roof deck, it causes 2 to 3 times more damage. This is why installing an effective FORTIFIED sealed roof deck system can prevent you from calling for an untimely roof replacement or repair.
