How Shingles for your Roof are Made

Did you know? Shingles for your home’s roof may be a possibility. Shingles are common for many home’s roofs. 

At the core of our asphalt roofing shingles are three basic components: a tough fiberglass base mat, waterproofing asphalt, and high-performing surface granules.

To make shingles, fiberglass mat is fed into a fabrication line. The material passes through a saturator tank filled with hot asphalt, which coats the fibers. 

Asphalt’s primary purpose in shingles is to serve as a waterproofing agent; an important aspect for your home’s roof. 

One item to check with is the wind rating of shingles. Most contractors have warranty documents or contracts. Be sure to review.
