FORTIFIED ROOFING SYSTEM
What is it?
THE FORTIFIED ROOFING STANDARD
A FORTIFIED Roofing System® is a construction and reroofing standard developed by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) to help homes better withstand high winds, heavy rain, and severe weather events common in coastal and storm-prone areas.
Year after year, tough storms and hurricanes pound the East Coast. That's why the FORTIFIED roofing system exists — it's the result of years of research and real-life testing. Unlike standard options, IBHS's FORTIFIED system stands out for its strength ratings, designed to give your coastal roof a fighting chance when the next big storm rolls in.
