What is Asphalt Shingle Roofing?
Asphalt shingle roofing is the most common type of roofing application on the market. It can be most cost-effective as well as the most abundant resource for roofing materials. Asphalt roof shingles begin with a continuous fiberglass “mat” that creates strength and tear resistance. Fortified hot asphalt goes through a strengthening process, where it is “oxidized” by blowing hot air through it to increase its viscosity and firm up the material. This roofing asphalt is then bonded to the top and bottom of the mat layer to form a waterproof barrier. Finally, crushed and screened granules are embedded into the top layer of asphalt, offering a layer of protection from heat damage, UV rays, and degradation – while providing the shingle color & shading that you see.
