As a Colorado roofing contractor, we have found that asphalt shingle roofs have been a great product over the years and have achieved great quality standards in addition to extreme weather sustainability.
The improvements include
- Solar Reflecting: shingles help reduce air conditioning costs in hot climates by being a better reflective surface.
- Wind Damage: Asphalt shingles come in varying resistance to wind damage. Shingles with the highest fastener pull through resistance, bond strength of the self-seal adhesive, properly nailed will resist wind damage from winds of up to 130 (MPH).
- Hail Damage: Hail storms can damage asphalt shingles. For impact resistance UL 2218 Class 4 is best. This increases survivability from hail storms of 2 inches in diameter. This shingles also may decrease your premium bill. “Ask your insurance for details”
- Fire Resistance: Forest fires and other exterior fires risk roofs catching on fire. Fiberglass shingles have a better, class A, flame spread rating based on UL 790, and ASTM E 108 testing. Organic shingles have a class C rating.
- Algae Resistance: Algae is not believed to damage asphalt shingles but it may be objectionable aesthetically. Shingle manufacturers use different treatment methods to prevent discoloration from algae growth on the roof.
- Simpler Installation: Architectural asphalt shingles are designed to lock perfectly next to the other with straight cuts from manufacture.
- Durability: Shingle durability is ranked by warranted life, ranging from 25 years to lifetime warranties are available.
