    Impact-Resistant Shingles in Charlotte, NC

    ARX installs IKO shingles from Cambridge up. IKO rates Cambridge and Dynasty Class 3 under UL 2218 / FM 4473, and Dynasty carries a 130 mph limited wind warranty. IKO Nordic carries a Class 4 rating. Neither is hail-proof, and the rating is not a performance guarantee, but some insurers offer a premium reduction for an impact-rated roof, so ask yours before you choose.

    What to Expect

    Common Mistakes Homeowners Make

    Insurance Claim Assistance

    IKO states that the impact rating is solely for potential insurance premium reductions and is not a performance guarantee, and that hail damage is not covered under the manufacturer's limited warranty. Whether a discount exists, which class qualifies, and how much it is worth are decided by your insurer.
