There has been an unprecedented amount of snow in the month of January – 49 of the 50 US States have snow on the ground. Snow accumulating on your roof can be a concern.
More than any other exterior surface, a building's roof is the one that is exposed to the most impacts from weather-driven objects such as ice and tree debris. Roof tiles cracked by impacting objects will allow moisture to penetrate and decay the underlying structure leading to costly repairs.
We were recently asked by a supplier of synthetic roofing tiles to assist them in choosing an instrumented impact system to perform low energy tests to ascertain how much damage may occur to their products. The customer supplied us with several samples of two different styles of tiles in order to establish the energy levels at which incipient damage begins to occur in the tiles supplied.
