UL Solutions, IBHS Drive Trust in Residential Roofing Shingles

Hailstorms take place relatively frequently in the United States. According to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Severe Storms database, there were 5,396 major hailstorms in the U.S. in 2019. Annual losses from hailstorms have reached a yearly average of $10 billion (USD). To help mitigate these losses and better serve the roofing industry, UL Solutions and the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety (IBHS) have announced a new cooperative program for a roofing shingle performance evaluation.
