  1. Are Asphalt Shingles Right for Your Roof?

  2. Asphalt shingles are a popular choice for many homeowners when having a new roof installed, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they are the right type of material for your roof. While a conversation with a local roofing contractor will help clear up any questions you might have about asphalt shingles, it’s always helpful to get yourself clued up first, and here are a few reasons why so many homeowners are choosing this particular material for their roofs: They’re durable Ideal for a roof that receives a high volume of foot traffic, asphalt shingles are able to withstand the constant wear and tear of people walking on them. It’s also a great material to use if you live in an area that experiences extreme weather conditions, such as hurricanes and heavy rain.

  3. Environmentally friendly Made from recycled materials such as rubber and plastic, asphalt shingles are also fireproof. Comprised of many layers that work together to protect your house from the elements, it includes a protective layer called underlayment, which helps stop water seeping through your roof and down into your home. Waterproof Should your roof ever experience a leak, the waterproof aspect of asphalt shingles helps ensure that no water seeps into your home and destroys any part of it.

  4. Available in a variety of colors and styles With so many colors and styles to choose from in asphalt shingles, not to mention multiple textures, you can have a customized roof that blends seamlessly with the material surrounding it. Budget friendly Relatively inexpensive when compared to other types of roofing materials such as slate and clay tile, you can have a new asphalt shingle roof installed at a much lower cost.

  5. Recyclable Able to be recycled into a range of materials suitable for paving, roof coatings and even clothing, asphalt shingles are made from 100% recyclable materials. This means that not only are they recyclable, but they don’t add to landfill waste or cause environmental pollution when discarded at the end of their lifespan. Fire resistant Capable of resisting temperatures up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit, asphalt shingle is fire resistant and a great choice for homes in regions with a high risk of fire or other natural disasters such as hurricanes or tornadoes. Asphalt shingles are also the perfect choice for homes situated in the desert or on a mountain top with no trees to catch fire and spread flames across the entire area.

  6. Are there any disadvantages to asphalt roofing? There are a few drawbacks to asphalt shingles, such as those listed below, so it’s imperative that you discuss your roofing options with an experienced roofing company before deciding on a material: High maintenance To prevent leaks and help them last longer, asphalt shingles must be regularly maintained.

  7. Long term costs While asphalt shingles are cheaper than other residential roofing materials to install, the fact that they don’t last as long as other types of roofs, could mean that you need to replace them sooner than expected. Lower energy efficiency Clay or concrete tiles are more energy efficient than asphalt shingles, which are less breathable and trap heat inside your attic, causing your air conditioner to work harder and your energy bills to increase.

  8. Mold growth Prone to mold growth, asphalt shingles aren’t breathable and moisture can build up under them in the absence of adequate ventilation or if rainwater pools on top of them. For a more detailed discussion as to whether asphalt shingles are right for your roof, talk to a roofing contractor in your area.
