How do Timberline® AS II shingles work?

Our proprietary SBS polymer-modified asphalt technology helps make asphalt more durable, rubber-like, and super-flexible — to help reduce stress when impacted. It results in a shingle with excellent flexibility and durability, plus increased impact resistance.

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 impact. On a standard shingle, the test results show evidence of visible ruptures or cracks through the shingle immediately after impact, indicating a failure. A Class 4 shingle passes the test with no evidence of ruptures or cracks through the shingle immediately after impact.
