CertainTeed Landmark IR Shingles in Edmonton
CertainTeed Landmark IR is the impact-resistant Landmark — a UL 2218 Class 4 architectural shingle engineered to defend against hail, making it a strong choice for Edmonton’s storm season.
What it is
Landmark IR pairs the familiar dual-layer Landmark look with a specialized backing that earns a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating — the highest category. It’s built to resist hail while holding up to wind and severe weather.
Who it’s for: Edmonton homeowners who want classic Landmark styling with maximum hail protection — and the possibility of an insurance discount.

Why it works in Edmonton
Hail is a real and recurring risk across the Edmonton region. Landmark IR’s Class 4 rating is the toughest UL 2218 impact category and may qualify your home for an insurance premium discount. To earn the rating, it must be installed on a new roof or full tear-off — not over existing shingles — which is how Iron Shield Roofing installs it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Landmark IR a Class 4 hail-resistant shingle?
Yes. Landmark IR carries a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating, the highest category, tested against a two-inch steel ball dropped from 20 feet. Many insurers offer a premium discount for Class 4 roofs — check with your provider.
Does Landmark IR need a special installation?
To carry the Class 4 rating, Landmark IR must be installed on a new roof or full tear-off, not applied over existing shingles. Iron Shield Roofing installs it that way.
How is Landmark IR different from NorthGate?
Both are strong hail answers. Landmark IR uses a specialized backing for a UL 2218 Class 4 rating, while NorthGate uses SBS-modified asphalt for cold-climate flexibility plus impact resistance. We’ll help you choose based on your priorities.
