Shingles: Jewel of the Roofing Industry

One of the most durable, yet economical materials in the construction industry today is the asphalt roofing shingle. It’s no wonder that they are popular with homeowners and roofers alike. They provide a home with a gorgeous, weather-tough roof, and they also have other features that make them a significant contender in the roofing world.:

Colors

The colors of asphalt roofing shingles are gorgeous hues that will blend seamlessly into your architecture or provide a contrasting balance. For example, Owens Corning, the roofing materials giant, has proclaimed 2020 the Color of the Year “Pacific Wave.”

Here in Texas, of course, lighter colors are more energy-efficient and deflect the sun’s rays, and Pacific Wave offers a stunning color-combination of cool blues and pale grays. The subtle shading of Owens Corning asphalt shingles of any color creates a depth and texture which is unsurpassed.

Adaptable

Asphalt roofing is adaptable to many different roofing situations. Neither the slope of the roof nor the shape will compromise the integrity of asphalt shingles. They easily accommodate every sloped roof design. They also work well with different home styles, making them a contender for both modern and traditional architecture. 

A combination of fiberglass and asphalt is what makes asphalt shingles so durable and robust. The weight of the asphalt determines the weight of the shingles--a critical factor in reroofing.

Value

Asphalt shingles have reliable attributes and are generally cheaper than tile, making them an economically sound choice. They are fire- and wind-resistant and last for decades without curling. Easy installation also makes them a wise decision. These attributes make asphalt shingles a great value in the roofing industry.
