Asphalt shingles are a widely preferred option for roofing as they have a flexible application and quick installation process. Additionally, asphalt shingles are lightweight and protect against mold, algae, and UV rays.
If you’re considering a roof repair or replacement, asphalt shingles are a durable choice for your roof.
What Are Asphalt Shingles?
Asphalt shingles are made of a fiberglass and asphalt mixture and covered with a granular surface which helps protect against the elements. Because the shingles overlap, they produce a tight seal that reduces the risk of water penetrating the underlayment and causing leaks in the roof.
Benefits of Asphalt Shingles
- Lightweight Design— Adds very little weight to the roof and does not need additional structural support like heavy shingles would
- Simple Installation— Quick and easy to install and can usually be done in a single day
- Color Choices— Comes in multiple textures, colors, and patterns to suit your preference
- Prolonged Lifespan— Durable enough that they do not need extensive maintenance regularly compared to other roofing materials
