LMAO.........They can pawn anything off. Have any of you used a hail proof shingle........what's the catch? I have seen hail rip apart even metal roofs.......how does a hail proof shingle work? What makes it better than a Lifetime (haaha) Shingle?

Are you talking about the steel shingles? I've not installed any of those. GAF had(has?) an asphalt shingle that they coat asphalt and rocks on both sides of the shingle to make it "hail proof." The funny part is that it's main advantage is that it won't LEAK after a hail storm so insurance only has to replace the roof and not interior damage.

CIAK....I think this is what the new Menards ad is advertising as "Hail proof"
