What does 160 MPH wind warranty actually mean?

How long does a TAMKO Titan XT roof last in Florida?
25-30 year typical lifespan in Central Florida with proper maintenance. SBS-modified asphalt holds up better than standard shingles against UV and thermal cycling.

Possibly. The 160 MPH wind rating may qualify for wind mitigation credits on your carrier policy. A wind mit inspection confirms eligibility.
Why TAMKO over GAF or Owens Corning?
Performance per dollar. TAMKO Titan XT delivers premium hurricane rating without premium pricing. For Central Florida, it is the smartest spend Sarge has found.
Is this a standard or upgrade shingle?
Premium architectural shingle, not a 3-tab. Heavy laminated construction, SBS-modified asphalt, designer color options. Built for storm country.
