If you’re in the market for a roofing replacement, asphalt shingles is one of the top options. This material is a cost-effective solution that covers 80% of US homes. To help you learn more about asphalt shingles, Goodrich Roofing presents these top facts:
- Back in 1903, Henry Reynolds formulated the idea to make individual shingles from asphalt.
- During the 19th century, asphalt shingles were an alternative option for slate shingles and wood shakes.
- This roofing material comes with a fiberglass mat base saturated with asphalt mixture. For protection against hail damage in Albuquerque and other elements, manufacturers coat the mixture with ceramic granules.
- These come in two styles: architectural (which displays a multidimensional look) and three-tab (which exudes a simpler look).
- These offer excellent wind and fire resistance
- These are more affordable compared with other roofing materials.
- As these are lightweight, asphalt shingles ensure easy installation and require lesser installation time.
- These can be installed over low- and steep-sloped roofs.
- If you have missing or broken shingles, roofers can easily remove and replace them with same-colored shingles.
- Asphalt shingle roofing can be fully recycled once these reach the end of their service life.
- For a boost in curb appeal, you can choose from numerous colors that are sure to complement any architectural style.
- With proper installation and care, asphalt shingle roofing can last up to 30 years or more.
