American Polymer Roof Survives Tornado-Style Storm

We don't work in the US but we know US storms are famed for their intensity and devastative capacities. In July this year, one such storm, a relative of the tornado called a "microburst" which throws out 100mph winds, tore through Harbor Isle in Wichita, Kansas, pulling off or seriously damaging most of the roofs in the subdivision... except for the polymer roofs, that is.

The difference was striking, with the polymer roofs sustaining zero or near zero damage, whilst every other roof was savaged.

Not only did this allow those living beneath the polymer roofs to keep their highly engineered, impact-resistant roofs, it also meant next to no flying debris, which usually creates the biggest risk of injury and damage (to both people and property) in these kinds of storms.

The result is a massive increase in local residents now wanting polymer roofs... and this article in the national US based 'Roofing Magazine'.

We often point out both the weatherproof capabilities of polymer roofing as well as its ability to fix completely to any substrate - this story demonstrates both points.
