Atlas Roofing raises wind warranty on qualifying Signature Select systems to 160 mph

Atlas Roofing said qualifying Atlas Signature Select Roofing Systems installed to enhanced requirements now qualify for Limited Wind Warranty coverage up to 160 mph, effective Oct. 1, 2026. The change gives contractors and homeowners a higher protection level on eligible roof systems that use Atlas installation requirements and certain starter shingles.

Why it matters: - The expanded wind warranty gives qualifying Atlas Signature Select Roofing Systems a higher level of protection in storm-prone conditions. - Contractors and homeowners get added confidence in the long-term performance of properly installed Atlas roofs. - The move could make warranty coverage a bigger factor in roofing decisions for durable residential systems.

What happened: - Atlas Roofing announced that qualifying Atlas Signature Select Roofing Systems are now eligible for Limited Wind Warranty coverage of up to 160 mph. - The change takes effect Oct. 1, 2026. - The eligible systems include Signature Select, Signature Select Plus, Signature Select Pro, Signature Select Pro10 and Signature Select Pro25.

The details: - To qualify for the enhanced 160 mph Limited Wind Warranty, Atlas Signature Select Roofing Systems must meet Atlas warranty installation requirements. - Those requirements include using Atlas Pro-Cut® Starter shingles along both the eave and the rake. - Qualifying Atlas shingles featuring 3M™ Scotchgard™ Protector are eligible for the enhanced coverage when installed under those requirements. - Installations that do not meet the enhanced requirements remain under Atlas's standard Limited Wind Warranty coverage. - Standard coverage is 130 mph for Pinnacle® Impact, Pinnacle® Sun and Pinnacle® Pristine shingles. - Standard coverage is 150 mph for StormMaster® Shake shingles. - All warranty coverage remains subject to applicable warranty terms and conditions. - Atlas said more information is available at the company's website or through a local Atlas representative.

Between the lines: - The warranty expansion rewards installations that follow Atlas's specified system components. - The policy reinforces Atlas's focus on system performance rather than shingles alone. - The change also creates a clear split between enhanced coverage for qualifying installations and standard coverage for other eligible products.

What's next: - Homeowners and contractors will likely need to verify installation details before counting on the 160 mph coverage. - Atlas representatives can help determine whether a roof meets the enhanced warranty requirements. - The company is positioning the warranty update as part of its broader push around long-term roof performance.

The bottom line: - Atlas is tying stronger wind coverage to stricter installation standards, giving qualifying Signature Select systems a higher warranty ceiling and clearer performance promise.
