Nailing matters most

Correct nail placement and count is a big part of wind performance. Shingles with wide nailing zones, like TAMKO Titan XT, make accurate nailing easier.

Starter strips and edges

Proper starter shingles along eaves and rakes seal the first row down, where wind attacks first. Drip edge adds support.

Sealing

Shingles have sealant strips that bond in warm weather. Roofs installed in cold weather may need extra attention.
