I have a home on the Texas Gulf Coast a few blocks from the sea. My 1927 home has its original asbestos shingle roof in a diamond pattern. It was damaged by Hurricane Rita and needs to be replaced. As the home retains most of its original features and is in a neighborhood on the National Registry of Historic Places, I would like to have a roof with the same look. Can you please tell me the wind ratings on the "Castletop" shingles by Atas (ACCEL) or similar materials? I'm getting desparate!

ATAS is a member of the MRA and you will have to contact them dircet for uplift information.
My company is the other MRA member company that makes a diamond product but frankly we have never had it tested for uplift resistance -- well, not by a third party. I know that it is a pretty wind resistant product but we have never gone through formal third party testing of it.
Under current test protocol, testing a diamond shaped shingle would be a challenge actually.
