Core4® Enhanced Polymer Technology
Enhance your home's resilience and aesthetic appeal with StormMaster® Shake Shingles featuring Core4® Enhanced Polymer Technology from Atlas Roofing. These advanced shingles are engineered to endure the most challenging weather conditions while offering a sophisticated architectural design.
PolyCore® Technology
Core4®’s PolyCore® Technology is engineered using a proprietary blend of enhanced virgin polymers, giving these shingles exceptional strength and durability far beyond traditional asphalt shingles. This cutting-edge material ensures:
✔ 52% greater resistance to fastener pull-through, which means a more secure attachment to your roof, even during strong winds.
✔ Higher structural integrity, reducing the risk of cracks, breaks, or warping over time.
✔ Longer-lasting performance, keeping your roof in peak condition for decades.
With PolyCore® Technology, you can feel confident knowing your roof has the strength to endure severe weather without compromising on style.
Roofs face constant environmental stress, from heavy snow loads to shifting temperatures. FlexCore® Technology provides shingles with superior elasticity, making them more resistant to damage caused by bending, expansion, and contraction. Key benefits include:
✔ 45% higher tear strength compared to standard shingles, preventing cracks and fractures.
✔ Greater flexibility for a flatter, more precise installation, ensuring a snug, weather-tight fit.
✔ Advanced impact absorption, helping to protect your home from wind-driven debris, falling branches, and hail.
By enhancing shingle flexibility, FlexCore® Technology reduces the risk of breakage and premature wear, giving you peace of mind through every season.

Why Northern Illinois Homeowners Choose StormMaster® Shake Shingles with Core4® Technology
Chicago and the Northern Illinois region face some of the most extreme weather conditions in the country. From harsh winters with heavy snow and ice to powerful summer storms with high winds and hail, homeowners need a roofing solution that offers superior protection year-round.
Atlas Roofing’s Core4® Enhanced Polymer Technology is specifically designed to withstand these unpredictable climate challenges. With its Class 4 impact resistance, superior flexibility, and enhanced durability, Core4® shingles provide long-lasting protection against hail, high winds, and fluctuating temperatures—making them the ideal choice for homes in Chicagoland.
Perfect for Northern Illinois: Core4® Shingles Built for Chicago’s Climate
Living in Northern Illinois, including the Chicago metro area, means dealing with some of the toughest weather conditions in the country. From bitterly cold winters with heavy snowfall and ice to violent summer storms that bring strong winds and hail, homes in this region need a roofing system that offers both strength and longevity. Atlas Roofing’s Core4® Enhanced Polymer Technology was designed to meet these challenges head-on, delivering unmatched durability, advanced impact resistance, and long-term beauty—making it the ideal roofing solution for homes across Chicagoland.
Winter Durability: Engineered for Ice, Snow, and Freezing Temperatures
Illinois winters are unpredictable and unforgiving, with freezing temperatures, ice accumulation, and heavy snowfall creating stress on your home’s roof. Without the right materials, standard shingles can crack, become brittle, or lose their adhesion—leading to leaks and costly repairs.
Thanks to FlexCore® Technology, Core4® shingles remain highly flexible, even in extreme cold, reducing the risk of cracking or breakage. This flexibility also allows them to expand and contract naturally as temperatures shift, preventing warping and premature wear. As a result, your roof remains secure, weatherproof, and long-lasting, no matter how many freeze-thaw cycles it endures.
Superior Storm Protection: Built to Handle Hail and Heavy Rains
During spring and summer, Northern Illinois is no stranger to sudden thunderstorms, torrential rain, and hail—all of which can take a toll on traditional asphalt shingles. But Core4® shingles feature Class 4 impact resistance, the highest level available, ensuring they can withstand hail impacts, flying debris, and heavy rainstorms without damage.
By reducing the risk of shingle breakage or granule loss, Core4® Technology helps homeowners save on repair costs and maintain a roof that stands strong against unpredictable weather year after year.
Designed for High Winds: Protection Against Chicago’s Gusty Conditions
Chicago isn’t called the Windy City for nothing. Strong gusts, storm-driven winds, and seasonal weather shifts put traditional roofing materials to the test—often leading to shingles lifting, curling, or tearing completely off.
With a wind resistance rating of up to 150 mph, Core4® shingles stay firmly in place, providing your home with exceptional wind protection. Their advanced sealing technology ensures a tight, secure bond, helping prevent wind-driven rain and debris from causing damage to your home.
Maintaining a Pristine Roof: Algae Resistance for Long-Lasting Curb Appeal
The humid conditions in Northern Illinois can lead to unsightly algae growth, causing black streaks and discoloration on standard shingles. Over time, this not only affects your home’s appearance but also reduces the overall lifespan of your roof.
With the power of 3M™ Scotchgard™ Protector, Core4® shingles actively prevent algae growth, ensuring your roof stays clean, vibrant, and streak-free for years to come. No more costly cleanings or roof maintenance—just long-lasting beauty that enhances your home’s curb appeal.
