Isn't it more cost effective to put some sort of transparent shield on top, for those places with above-average risk of hail damage? or is it that such a cover

Isn't it more cost effective to put some sort of transparent shield on top, for those places with above-average risk of hail damage?
or is it that such a cover gets dirty and not-so-transparent faster than the original top layer?
I'm guessing this must be something already being considered, so what am I missing?
- sliverstorm 10y agoMetal roofs are pretty hardy, but sound like a paint can full of ball-bearings even in light hail or heavy rain. Asphalt roofs are inexpensive. Given that hail-damaged asphalt roofs keep getting replaced with asphalt roofs, I have to think it's some kind of market/regulation/short-term-profit thing.
