Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingles are a great all-around choice for your roofing material. They offer variety, are cost-effective, durable and easy to maintain.
Asphalt shingles are formed with a foundation of a single sheet of material, which is then reinforced with a sturdy fiberglass mat. Asphalt is the main water resistant material in these shingles, and it is also mixed with a fine mineral powder to increase weather resistance and resistance to fire hazards. Then the mineral fortified asphalt is applied to both sides of the fiberglass mat. As one of the last steps, the shingle is coated with tiny aggregate granules of ceramic-coated minerals for texture and durability. Finally, the shingles are coated with sealant and laminate adhesives to ensure proper long-term performance.
