Asphalt Roofing shingles.

Description

Asphalt roofing shingles are composed of asphalt-saturated bases made from either organic materials or fiberglass. Organic shingles are a combination of waste paper, asphalt, salt coatings and ceramic granules, whereas fiberglass shingles are made from glass fiber coated in asphalt and minerals such as mica, schist, quartz, slate, ceramic, or stone. It is a type of roof shingle that uses asphalt for waterproofing. They’re quick and easy to install and when installed correctly and properly maintained. The shingles are also really easy to tear down, repair or replace if need be. One of the things that make them affordable is that they don’t require any special tools or accessories to install them, such as roof edges, vent flashings or wall terminations. It is available in a range of different shapes, styles and colours. They also work well on homes with steep, sloping structures and are pretty compatible with most roof types. Another great feature is that the mineral granules on the shingles help to deflect harmful, roof-damaging UV rays. Dynamic properties of asphalt enable manufacturers to produce numerous specialty products that exist across all shingle types.
