Wind Speed Rating
A wind speed rating is the maximum wind a product is tested to withstand, shown on shingle, panel and fastener literature as a rated speed. Carriers and code officials may require a rated product or a specific fastening pattern in high-wind areas, so keep the product literature and fastening detail in the claim file.
