What You Need To Know About Asphalt Shingles:

Your roof is constantly exposed to the harsh abuse of the elements. Direct sunlight, wind, water and ice ALL work to slowly break down the strength of your roofing material over time. A good way to tell if you are experiencing roof wear is to simply take a look in your gutters. If you notice a large amount of what appears to be sand in your gutters then that is your roof material actually breaking down.

As these little granules of sand slowly start to separate themselves from the roofing material they leave the underlying layers exposed to the elements which decreases the performance and lifespan of your roof considerably and is compounded over time.

While Asphalt Shingles were designed to be an extremely durable roofing material that can withstand these rigors for many, many years, they do not last forever. Thankfully though, Asphalt Shingles have come a long way and now roofing systems last much longer and deliver more value to the homeowner.

Asphalt Shingles are available in a wide variety of price ranges depending on the color, style and the actual composition of the material. It should be obvious that some Asphalt Shingle Roofing systems are much better than others and Angi Home Improvement LLC can help you decide which roofing material is best for you.

Shingles with a Class 4 rating have more adhesive strips under the tabs which help them resist strong winds. Class 4 shingles also take six nails as opposed to four when fastening the material. The Underwriters Laboratory (UL) test determines durability from wind and hail impacts. A Shingle that can withstand 60 mile per hour winds for two straight hours will gain the UL certification.[/box]
