Several factors influence the design and construction of building enclosures, especially a region's climate. The rising threat of severe weather events has made it more important than ever to specify materials that add strength and resiliency to your roofing systems. Of all the types of billion-dollar disasters, severe storms are the most common. Hailstorms can cause excessive damage to cars, homes and commercial buildings while also being deadly to livestock and people—even when brief.

Combat the Threat of Severe Hail

In 2022, hailstorm-insured losses in the U.S. exceeded $10 billion for the fifteenth year in a row. And the bigger the hailstone, the more potential for damage. As severe storms multiply, areas classified as Very Severe Hail (VSH) zones have widened. Third-party certifier and insurer FM Global has raised the standards for VSH risk mitigation.
Get a closer look at VSH and see how it can attack your commercial roof assemblies in the latest video on hail-resistant roofing from Georgia-Pacific, the innovator of DensDeck® Roof Boards. →
