Construction Standards
FORTIFIED Home standards address all technical information and installation requirements for FORTIFIED Roof, FORTIFIED Silver, and FORTIFIED Gold designations.
Preview the new 2020 Standard.
Calculator
The 2015 IRC references two tables to determine the required design wind uplift pressures for roof coverings. Using these tables can be confusing, so FORTIFIED created a calculator to help roofers and evaluators determine the appropriate design pressures for steep-slope roof coverings.
Technical Bulletins
FORTIFIED technical bulletins serve two purposes.
- Provide additional technical information that must be used in conjunction with FORTIFIED Home standards.
- Provide approved optional methods to achieve compliance with FORTIFIED Home standards requirements.
Standard Details

To help clarify parts of the FORTIFIED Roof Standards, IBHS created a series of construction detail drawings. We hope the drawings aid in the design of new roofs and help to eliminate confusion at installation.
