HERE'S PROOF: EVEN HURRICANES DON'T LOOSEN BIRD WIND SEAL SHINGLES

BIRD CREATED 100 MPH WINDS with two 2300 horsepower engines, and pumped a 1200-gallon-a-minute stream of water into the blow. Result: conditions as furious as Dona, Carla, etc., which have proved Bird Wind Seals hurricane-proof year after year. THESE HURRICANE-FORCE WINDS AND "RAIN" were directed onto a roof shingled half with ordinary shingles and half with Bird Wind Seal Shingles. A U.S. Weather Bureau instrument clocked the blow at an official 100 mph, which is fierce hurricane velocity. BIRD WIND SEALS NEVER BUDGED (right) despite the fury of the wind, but ordinary shingles (left) ripped loose. That's why Bird Wind Seal Shingles meet the Underwriters' Laboratory tests for wind resistance and bear the U.L. Wind Resistant label. HERE'S WHY: the sun's heat sets these dots of powerful adhesive into sticking action, sealing every shingle down in a grip that won't let go. Bird Wind Seal Shingles are highly fire-resistant too, and surfaced double-thick where the wear comes for longer life on your roof.
