Hail can be one of the most damaging weather events for buildings. In states like Colorado, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas, large hail is not only common—it’s costly. That’s why Johns Manville conducts severe hail testing in-house to ensure our roofing systems are built to endure.
In our hail testing lab, JM engineers simulate the real-world impact of hailstones striking a roof. By replicating these conditions, we can measure how different systems perform and continuously improve our products for strength and resilience.
This rigorous approach helps us deliver more than just durability. The longer a roof lasts, the more sustainable it becomes:
- Less roofing material ends up in landfills
- Fewer replacement projects mean fewer trucks on the road
- Building owners save time, money, and resources over the long term
