Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Roofing Road Trips®, host Karen Edwards joins Harley Coleman from Anchor to take a deep dive into the forces of wind uplift and how they impact roofing systems. The conversation explores what wind uplift is, why it matters and how attachment methods influence a roof's resistance to uplift. Harley will share Anchor's innovations in fasteners designed to keep buildings safe "against the wind." Join them as they discuss a powerful case study from iPark Hudson in Yonkers, New York, where Anchor's U-Anchors stood firm through Superstorm Sandy, protecting the rooftop solar investment when other systems failed. Listeners will come away with a better understanding of how proper attachment protects structures and how contractors can strengthen their own roofing practices with the right products and design approach.
