Atlas StormMaster Shingles: Better Than The Competition?

Atlas StormMaster Shingles

When you’re living in coastal communities like Emerald Isle and Morehead City, you’re no stranger to storms. North Carolina is a beautiful place to live but it’s also one of the states that is most susceptible to hurricanes. Because of this, it’s important for your home to have the best possible protection from storms and hurricanes, especially when it comes to something as structurally important as roofs.

Atlas Roofing was founded in 1982 and specializes in asphalt roof shingles. Not only is it one of the largest roof shingle manufacturers in the U.S., but it is also known for being cost-effective and durable. In fact, in 2019, Atlas Roofing’s StormMaster® Shake Shingles were voted above all other competing brands for hail impact by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS). A refresh in June 2021 showed that the StormMaster® Shake Shingles still outranked all other shingles tested.

Not only did the Atlas StormMaster® Shake Shingles earn an excellent rating for tears and granule loss, and a good rating for ridges and dents, but it was the only product among those tested to earn an overall excellent rating. This makes it perfect for use in coastal communities like ours.

StormMaster® Technology

You may be wondering why Atlas StormMaster® shingles are so revered and what makes them better the competition. The answer is simple: the advanced technology used in them. These shingles are made with enhanced polymers so that they’re high-wind and impact resistant. Because of this, they’re sure to protect your home against the extreme weather seen in Emerald Isle and Morehead City.

Core4™ Technology

StormMaster®’s Core4™ technology is the most innovative in shingle development and manufacturing and consists of four main features.

  • PolyCore™ Technology

    Atlas Roofing’s StormMaster® shingles are made from advanced polymer materials.

  • FlexCore™ Technology

    Their FlexCore™ technology makes them bend instead of break and thus, resists both breakage and cracking in cold weather.

    They’re high-wind and impact resistant.

    The shingles are designed to maintain stability, even in severe weather conditions.

StormMaster® Shake vs. Slate Shingles

Do you want the StormMaster® Shake shingles but with a sleek slate look? You can opt for the StormMaster® Slate shingles instead. Also manufactured with Core4™ Technology, these give you the look you want but don’t compromise on quality. However, it should be noted that these protect your home from winds up to 130 mph instead of 150 mph.
