What Are Asphalt Shingles?
Asphalt shingles are a type of roofing material made from a base of fiberglass or organic mat, coated with asphalt and topped with ceramic granules. This layered construction gives them durability and weather resistance while offering an attractive finish. Available in a wide range of colors, textures, and styles, asphalt shingles cater to diverse architectural preferences.
Benefits of Asphalt Shingles
- Durability and Weather Resistance
Asphalt shingles are engineered to withstand various weather conditions, including heavy rain, strong winds, and UV rays. CertainTeed’s shingles, for instance, come with reinforced layers and superior water-shedding capabilities, ensuring your home remains protected through harsh weather. - Cost-Effectiveness
Compared to other roofing materials like metal or slate, asphalt shingles are highly affordable. They provide an excellent balance of upfront cost and long-term value, making them accessible to a wide range of homeowners. - Ease of Installation
Asphalt shingles are lightweight and easy to work with, making installation faster and more economical. This also reduces labor costs, adding to their affordability. - Aesthetic Versatility
Asphalt shingles are available in a wide variety of designs, from traditional three-tab styles to more elaborate architectural shingles. They mimic the look of high-end materials like wood or slate, allowing you to achieve a premium aesthetic at a fraction of the cost. - Energy Efficiency
Many asphalt shingles now include reflective properties that reduce heat absorption, helping keep your home cooler in warm climates. This energy efficiency contributes to lower cooling costs, which is especially beneficial during summer months. - Low Maintenance
Asphalt shingles require minimal upkeep. Occasional cleaning and routine inspections are usually sufficient to keep them in excellent condition. Their resilience to algae and moss growth further reduces maintenance efforts. - Environmentally Friendly Options
Modern asphalt shingles, including CertainTeed’s offerings, are made with sustainable materials and are often recyclable at the end of their lifespan. This makes them an eco-friendly roofing option for environmentally conscious homeowners. - Long Lifespan and Warranty
Depending on the type, asphalt shingles can last between 20 to 50 years. CertainTeed provides extended warranties on many of their shingle products, ensuring long-term peace of mind.
