Class 4 is the highest impact resistance rating available for asphalt shingles under the UL 2218 standard. It means the shingle has been tested against severe hail conditions and passed. For Western New York homeowners, where hailstorms are a regular seasonal threat, it provides a meaningful layer of protection over standard shingles.
Both carry a Class 4 impact rating, but StormMaster is Atlas's premium flagship line and carries a higher 150 mph wind warranty compared to Pinnacle Impact's 130 mph rating. Pinnacle Impact offers comparable hail protection at a more accessible price point, with a dimensional look that fits a wide range of home styles.
It may. Because Pinnacle Impact carries a Class 4 impact rating, some insurance carriers offer premium reductions for homes with this level of roofing protection. Check with your provider before installation to see if you qualify.
Pinnacle Impact is backed by the Atlas Lifetime Limited Warranty on manufacturing defects, a 130 mph wind warranty, and lifetime algae resistance protection through 3M Scotchgard Protector when installed by a certified Atlas contractor.
