Composition Shingles
are a excellent material for your new roof!
As
a great alternative, composition shingles should be a consideration
Asphalt or
fiberglass composition shingles are the most popular roofing material in
use today.A new composition shingle roof may
be installed over the old roof unless prohibited by local building codes.
If two layers of roofing are present, both layers should be removed before
installing a new roof. The second layer of shingles will not give the same
length of service as the first layer.
• Affordability.
The efficient, high-volume production and relatively low application cost
of composition shingles provide consumers with an overall value that’s
tough for other roofing materials to match.
• Low Maintenance.
composition shingles, when properly applied,
require little or no regular upkeep, and are easily repaired if damaged.
• Fire and Wind
Resistance. composition shingles are
manufactured to resist external fire and flammability standards, and carry
Class A, B or C fire ratings, with Class A providing the greatest fire
resistance. These fire ratings are defined by nationally recognized
standards and tested by independent testing agencies. In addition, many
asphalt shingles carrying a "wind resistance" label indicate that they
have been manufactured and tested to demonstrate acceptable resistance in
high-wind locations.
