If a storm is approaching, remove or secure all moving objects such as gardening tools, flowerpots and garden furniture. You should park your car in the garage or away from the trees before the storm. Because flying branches and loose objects can cause damage to vehicles, but also to the roof of the house. Mainly, your roof provides a large impact area for a strong storm. Roof covering can get loose and cause damage to the roof cladding, allowing rainwater to enter the roof structure. On the other hand, falling pieces can cause serious damage around your house and even injure people and animals. As roofs must withstand strong winds, snow loads and torrential rains, your roof deserves special attention during new construction and renovation. Any IKO shingle but especially those with self-adhesive backside are solid and wind-resistant roof material as well as the technology for laying and fixing with IKO barbed roofing nails provides safety in turbulent times.
