2023 Convention Session: Oh Hail! Metal Roofs, Hail Impact, and Long-Term Performance- Dutton R., Haddock R . ($95.00 member/$110.00 nonmember)

Course Overview
This session was originally presented at the 2023 IIBEC International Convention & Trade Show in Houston, Texas.  This course includes the recording of the session, a summative assessment consisting of 10 multiple-choice questions, and surveys required to claim continuing education credit.

Description
For several years, the insurance industry has been addressing an important question: what is considered cosmetic damage vs. functional damage when assessing hail impact on low-slope metal roofing? Cosmetic damage due to hail is often excluded from coverage. However, more recently, the distinction between cosmetic and functional damage has been challenged by forensic experts potentially basing their opinions on unsubstantiated claims of reduced service life and the performance of a dimpled roof. Does moisture retention or microfracture within a hail divot really diminish roof life?

The Metal Building Manufacturers Association has recently completed two research projects on the effects of hail on coated steel roofing systems. The projects, which evaluated the coating damage due to roll forming of 55% Al-Zn-coated steel roof panels and the water ponding drying rates for simulated hail impact divots on 55% Al-Zn-coated steel roof panels, provide much-needed information to define the differences between “cosmetic” and “functional” damage. This presentation provides background on the hail damage issue and presents the results of the recently completed research, which will come to bear on the definition of functional damage going forward. It is essential to properly evaluate hail impact on coated steel roofing
