- It converts some Sunjoy roof-weight claims into psf and distinguishes hurricane-category winds from code design wind speeds.
Field notes
The page places manufacturer figures beside explanations of code terminology, rather than treating matching mph values as equivalent. Its snow comparison also handles a difference in units: some Sunjoy figures are roof-wide pounds converted to pounds per square foot, while Hanso lists psf directly. The site says it found no outside testing for the ratings, a limitation that matters when using the table to compare products.
