Built to Protect: Designing Roofing Systems for a Future of Extreme Weather

With the increasing frequency of severe weather events, resilient, durable roofing systems are more critical than ever. Johns Manville’s roofing products are engineered to perform when storms strike, giving building owners confidence that their roofs are built to last.

Durable, long-lasting products are inherently sustainable. Longer product lifespans mean fewer tear-offs, less wasted material going to landfills, and fewer trucks transporting replacement products. Stronger roofs reduce disruption for businesses while also minimizing environmental impact across the supply chain.

“The roof is the most important aspect of a building, it keeps the building watertight,” says Zeb Sukle, Technical Director of Roofing Systems. “Making more resilient systems to handle these types of extreme conditions is a huge sustainability push for the future.”

Our focus is simple: design products that safeguard buildings and communities today, while helping to protect the planet for tomorrow.
