Is it true that bitumen roof shingles are less noisy in case of rain?
___________________________________________________________________________________________ When you compare shingles with most other roofing materials, the noise produced during rain or hail on a roof with shingles is the lowest. Are shingles resistant to strong winds?___________________________________________________________________________________________ Shingles offer a particularly good resistance to wind. The risk of blow offs is very limited. This was evidenced for instance during the big storms in 2000 in France where most roofs were damaged while shingle roofs still stood up. IKO has been extensively tested in wind tunnels and has shown a resistance to winds up to 220 km/h.
