Asphalt Shingles

ABOUT ASPHALT SHINGLES

1. Versatility - Covering many different angles, shapes and forms which means that they work with almost any type of roof, no matter how large or complicated yours might be.
2. Design Variety - Available in a range of rich architectural styles.
3. Colour Options - If you need to preserve your home’s curb appeal or improve it before a sale, you’ll be able to pick the right colour/shade of roofing material to match the rest of your home.
4. Cost Effective - The most cost-effective roofing materials upfront, yet they still provide the most value over the long term including more weather, fire, and wind resistance.
5. Energy Efficiency - Available in light, medium and dark tones that reflect a higher amount of the sun’s rays, which, in turn, reduces the temperature of the roof surface. This allows you to use less energy to cool your home.
6. Sound Protection - Not only do these have a great ability to insulate sound but can also be significantly quieter than metal roofs, resulting in less noise during large rain or and hail storms.
7. Algae Resistance - Many roofs, especially those based in wood, allow algae, mold, and mildew growth, which looks like a black stain across your roof. These shingles inhibit blue-green algae growth, protecting both the colour and appearance of your roof.
8. Fire Resistance - Superior (Class A) protection against penetration and spread of fire in the case of external fire hazards.
9. Recyclable - Once you’re finished with your set of shingles, they can be repurposed into other products, including recycled asphalt used to make and repair roads.
10. Integration for Other Roof Features - Installing a new chimney? Maybe a skylight? It’s easy to add new features to one part of a shingle roof without disturbing the rest. The same may not be said of other roof types.
