Underlayments and membranes approved for storm-resistant roofing systems.

Polyglass U.S.A. Inc. announced that several of its roofing underlayments and self-adhered membranes now comply with the FORTIFIED Roof standard developed by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety. The program establishes construction guidelines intended to help buildings better withstand severe weather, including high winds, hail and heavy rain.
With the designation, Polyglass products can be used as components in roofing systems built to meet FORTIFIED Roof requirements. The materials are designed to support enhanced wind resistance, moisture protection and long-term durability in storm-prone regions.
Products eligible for use in FORTIFIED Roof assemblies include self-adhered membranes such as Polystick IR-Xe, TU P, TU MAX, TU Plus, P, MTS Plus, MX and Polystrip SA. Anchor sheets include Polyanchor HV and SU. Fire-rated options include Polystick XFR, Polyanchor XFR, Polyflex SA P FR and Elastoflex SA V FR.
According to the company, the products are intended for contractors and builders seeking materials that meet the program’s performance criteria for storm-resistant roofing. Additional installation requirements and eligibility conditions apply under the FORTIFIED Roof program.
