The above factors are related and work in tandem to break down most roofing materials.

- Hailstone protection with unmatched Class 4 UL2218 Impact resistance

- Wind testing to 160 mph for two hours of continuous exposure at PRI Labs in Tampa, Florida

Vermont Slate panels are light, easy, and cost-effective to install and roofs are virtually maintenance-free, saving you time and money.
The unbeatable warranty for hail-proof shingles provides peace of mind that, once you have installed your roof, your investment will be protected for a lifetime.
