Note on the test
IKO rates Nordic Class 4 under the ANSI/FM 4473 test, which fires ice balls, while most brands use UL 2218 steel-ball testing. If your insurer requires UL 2218 specifically, check before you choose. Texas insurers must offer a premium credit for UL 2218 impact-rated roofs, but each company sets its own amount, and Class 4 earns the largest. We can't promise a discount; ask your insurer for their figure in writing. After a qualifying install we fill out TDI Form PC068 for you.
IKO and Texas
IKO opened a metal roofing plant in Ennis, Texas, and recently brought DECRA stone-coated steel under its IKO Metals brand. See DECRA.
