You might not think shingles are exciting. But CertainTeed’s new Landmark ClimateFlex shingles are part of their advanced architectural shingles line, featuring multi-layer construction for enhanced durability, visual dimension, and design benefits. These architectural shingles are setting up to be a game changer.
ClimateFlex is a new type of premium, polymer-modified asphalt shingle that uses cutting-edge polymer science. Polymers are long molecular chains that can interweave with each other. Nylon and epoxy are two different forms of polymer. Polymers give CertainTeed Landmark ClimateFlex shingles better resistance to hail storms and difficult weather conditions, making them ideal for regions with extreme climate.
Polymers are naturally flexible. When combined in asphalt, they help keep ClimateFlex shingles pliable in temperatures that would make standard shingles unworkably brittle. Construction seasons could gain extra weeks in spring and autumn.
ClimateFlex shingles have Class 4 impact resistance thanks to polymers. But polymers also help make ClimateFlex shingles beautiful. Polymers help asphalt better hold color granules. This gives them brighter colors that are less prone to fading. Landmark ClimateFlex shingles come in a variety of popular roof shingle colors and are available in the same size, shape, and color options as traditional asphalt shingles.
Landmark ClimateFlex shingles mimic the beauty of historical wood shake and slate tiles, engineered to match the look of these traditional materials and enhance curb appeal. But they offer the best durability, wind resistance, and protection that modern roofing science can create. Compared to standard Landmark shingles, Landmark ClimateFlex provides superior impact resistance and weather performance, making them a better choice for homeowners in demanding environments. CertainTeed offers multiple options in their Landmark architectural shingles line, so you can choose the best fit for your needs and preferences.
When choosing roofing materials, it’s important to consider your local climate. Landmark ClimateFlex shingles are specifically designed for extreme weather conditions, providing peace of mind and long-lasting protection. Read on and learn how your roof can benefit from CertainTeed’s roofing science breakthrough.
CertainTeed’s ClimateFlex shingles received an Underwriters Laboratory UL 2218 Class 4 rating for impact resistance, making them an excellent impact resistant choice for homeowners seeking superior storm and hail protection.
UL 2218 tests measure how well shingles hold up to dropped steel balls.
Class 4 is the UL’s highest rating. A Class 4 shingle can withstand multiple 20-foot impacts from 2-inch steel balls without cracks or damage. Homeowners in hail-prone regions benefit from the impact resistance of ClimateFlex shingles, which can potentially lead to discounts on insurance premiums.
The naturally flexible, rubber-like polymers in ClimateFlex shingles absorb impacts without cracking or breaking, providing enhanced hail resistance. Superior granule adhesion also contributes to the shingles’ long-lasting performance, ensuring granules stay attached even after hail or harsh weather conditions.
ClimateFlex shingles are heavier than many competitor shingles (around 230 lbs/square), which adds to their overall resilience. These shingles are suitable for roofs with a slope of 4:12 or higher and can withstand winds up to 130 mph when installed with specified CertainTeed accessories.
ClimateFlex shingles maintain flexibility in cold weather, making them easier to handle during installation. They are also backed by CertainTeed’s lifetime-limited transferable warranty, giving homeowners added peace of mind.
In addition to rugged strength against hail and impacts, Landmark ClimateFlex shingles also have Class 4 fire resistance. Class 4 fire resistance means that they will withstand extended exposure to flames before they ignite. Lightning and windblown sparks are common causes of house fires. A Landmark ClimateFlex roof will give you time to contain or escape a fire.
Algae stains are a recurring problem in humid Long Island and New York. With a Landmark ClimateFlex roof, you get CertainTeed’s StreakFighter technology. CertainTeed used copper granules to slow algae growth and reduce the development of ugly black stains.
Polymers help ClimateFlex shingles to stay flexible in the winter. But they also help protect the shingles from the hot sun. Granules held in suspension by the polymers reflect or absorb UV light before it can break down the sealant.
CertaSeal® is a fast-activating modified asphalt sealant designed by CertainTeed. CertaSeal holds your shingles tightly to your roof, protecting your home from high winds and shingle blowoff. And like ClimateFlex shingles, CertaSeal remains flexible after installation.
Many commonly used roofing sealants used on asphalt shingle roofs dry out and harden over time. And as your sealant loses elasticity, your roof starts to experience wind uplift and shingle blow-off. You may notice constant small leaks, especially after heavy rains. You may even see bare patches where heavy winds blew shingles away.
A roof replacement with weather resistant shingles can save you a lot of ongoing headaches and roof repairs. When you hire a CertainTeed Master Craftsman roofing contractor, we replace your roof with a complete CertainTeed system. You’re eligible for a warranty of up to 30 years on our work and 50 years on the roofing materials.
Over 20 years ago, CertaSeal introduced the roofing industry to a superior sealant. Today they’re continuing that work. CertaSeal and ClimateFlex® Shingles are both part of the complete Integrity Roof System.
When winter hits hard on Long Island and throughout the NYC boroughs, your roof needs to do more than just look good—it needs to stand up to the toughest conditions.
That’s where the CertainTeed Landmark ClimateFlex shingle truly shines. Engineered for durable performance in cold weather, this advanced roofing material is built to protect your home from the challenges of extreme weather, including hail, snow, and freezing temperatures.
The Landmark ClimateFlex shingle features a tough fiberglass base and a protective outer layer, giving it the strength to resist hail damage and the flexibility to withstand low temperatures without cracking.
Thanks to its innovative polymer-modified asphalt formula, these shingles remain pliable even when the mercury drops, reducing the risk of breakage that can plague standard asphalt shingles during cold snaps.
In real-world conditions, homeowners have seen the difference: Landmark ClimateFlex shingles offer less granule loss and more asphalt content than standard shingles, resulting in a longer-lasting, more resilient roof. The Class 4 impact resistance rating—the highest standard in the roofing industry—means your roof is ready to take on hail impacts and other weather extremes with less risk of damage.
Compared to standard asphalt shingles, the Landmark ClimateFlex shingle is a clear upgrade for anyone concerned about durability and protection. Its unique construction not only helps prevent costly repairs from hail and storm damage but also contributes to energy efficiency, helping to keep your home comfortable and your heating bills in check during the coldest months.
Homeowners also appreciate the added benefits: lower insurance premiums thanks to the shingle’s superior impact resistance, enhanced curb appeal with Max Def color options, and decorative touches like the Spinner White accent.
Whether you choose the Landmark ClimateFlex or the CertainTeed Landmark Pro, you’re investing in a roofing material designed to perform in real-world conditions and protect your home for years to come.
If you’re looking for a perfect choice to safeguard your house against cold weather and extreme storms, the Landmark ClimateFlex shingle stands out for its durability, protection, and lasting beauty.
