Product performance. Asphalt shingles work well in extreme temperatures and in areas where wind, water, and ice prevail.
Affordability Asphalt shingles’ efficient, high-volume production and relatively low application cost provide consumers with an overall value that is hard to match for other roofing materials, especially in terms of comparable life expectancy.
Low maintenance. Asphalt shingles, when chosen and applied correctly, require little to no regular maintenance and are easily repaired if damaged.
Ease of application. Asphalt shingles are considered to be the easiest to apply of all the standard roofing materials. In addition, the flexibility and strength of asphalt shingles support their application in a wide variety of roof designs.
Resistance to fire and wind. Asphalt shingles are manufactured to withstand external fire and flammability standards, and have Class A, B, or C fire ratings, with Class A providing the highest fire resistance.
These fire ratings are defined by nationally recognized standards and tested by independent testing agencies. Also, many asphalt shingles that carry a “wind resistance” label indicate that they have been manufactured and tested to demonstrate acceptable resistance in windy locations. “Make sure you pick a good roofing contractor and they’ll make it all work.
