Comparable to other shingles. The video shows how these shingles are created.

The primary raw material used in a shingle is the membrane made of fiberglass. Fiberglass has replaced rags and paper as they were not long-lived enough to make a good roofing material. It has a better fire rating than paper and the rags. It is also stronger and more malleable. In a saturator liquid asphalt is sprayed onto the membrane of fiberglass. Mineral stabilizers make the asphalt shingle more durable. To ensure that the asphalt is water-proof, it’s layered heavily on its bottom.

The granules give the shingle its colour and adhere to the shingle’s surface. They also make shingles tougher and help protect them against natural elements such as rain, sun and winds. The sheets are then chilled off and cut to make them into shingles.

Asphalt shingle roofs are straightforward to install and maintain with longevity of 15-40 years. They’re a good choice for all your roofing requirements! If you want to know more, speak with one of your local roofing contractors or check out the video.
