Benefits of Asphalt Shingle Roofs

Shingle roofs are an economical and visually pleasing roofing option that has a long lifespan. In addition to a wide variety of styles and colors, their fire rating is among the best. They are also a low-cost option with minimal maintenance requirements.

Asphalt shingles are the most popular choice for roofing for a multitude of reasons. Firstly, their low cost makes them the most economical option compared to other roofing materials. Despite their affordability, they offer a long lifespan, typically lasting 25 years or longer, depending on the type of shingles chosen. Another significant advantage is the wide variety of colors available, ranging from basic black to bright red, ensuring there is an option to meet any design preference.

In addition to their aesthetic and economic benefits, asphalt shingles are also highly practical. They are resistant to wind and perform well under most strong wind conditions. Their high fire resistance adds another layer of safety for homeowners. Moreover, asphalt shingles are lightweight, meaning they can be applied to most roofs without the need for additional engineering, unlike heavier materials such as tile.

What Makes Up an Asphalt Shingle

Surface / Granulated Layer: This is the portion of the shingle that is visible when the roof is complete. It provides the color of the roof and offers UV protection, allowing the shingles to last longer. This layer can also help prevent heat from penetrating the structure of the house, keeping the home cooler.
Asphalt Layer: This layer provides waterproofing, protecting the home from water damage. It is also where most of the shingles’ weight comes from.
Base Layer: The base is the framework of the shingle and provides its structure. Most shingles today use fiberglass, which is found in this layer. It holds the entire shingle together.
Adhesive Strip: If you look at a shingle before it is installed, you will notice what appears to be a dotted line. This adhesive strip helps prevent shingles from lifting due to wind.
Nailing Strip: This is the designated area where the shingle must be nailed down during installation.
