Statistics show that the number and severity of hailstorms in the United States is increasing. Hail related claims are rising for the insurance industry. The many variables in the size, shape, and speed of hail make it difficult to determine the extent of hail damage from each storm.
Roof damage from hailstorms is a complicated topic. Many commercial roofs are currently membrane roofs. The majority of membrane roofs are TPO.
The most damage to the membrane occurs when the hail hits on the fastener. Membranes can also split or have punctures to the membrane due to hail damage.
In addition to damage to the membrane, damage can occur to the underlying insulation. A high performance cover board can help protect the insulation.
