Residential Asphalt Shingle Roofing

Algae Resistance Warranty

The usual muggy weather of Georgia acts as an ideal environment for Algae to bloom and spread. The warmer temperature allows the algae to grow faster and thicker. All the best asphalt shingle manufacturers in the USA make Algae Resistant Asphalt shingles that have copper granules mixed along with normal granules on its topmost coating. These AR shingles usually carry around 10 years warranty against any algae discoloration of your roof, but certain manufacturers can provide a limited warranty for as high as 25 years!

Reduced Roof Temperature and lower electricity bill

This modern roofing shingles are a boon for places like Georgia which have relatively high temperatures most of the year. This roofing system is certified by Energy Star, a voluntary program by EPA to certify environmentally friendly consumer products. Unlike traditional shingles that absorb the solar heat and increase the temperature of your roof, these shingles have high reflective properties which can lower the temperature of your roof surface by up to 50F. It has also been observed that certified cool roofs can reduce your air conditioning needs during peak hours by 10-15 percent. This means additional savings due to decreased electricity bills.

Impact resistance can minimize hail damage

While traditional shingles were anything but fragile, a powerful hailstorm usually had a devastating impact on your roof. The oncoming hail not only damaged the layer of granules present on top of shingles but also caused damage to your shingle mat on impact. This led to a significant decrease in the service life of your roof after every hailstorm. Not only hailstorm but other unpredictable things like falling branches can also cause damages to your roof. While no shingle is completely impact proof, the modern impact-resistant shingles can go a long way in minimizing impact damages to your roof.

Fire and Wind Resistance

Most of the shingles in the market today have Class A Fire rating signifying their high resistance to sparks and fire. The modern shingles with their patented adhesives and nailing techniques can also have significantly higher wind resistance. These shingles go through more than 4000 quality checks ensuring that the finished product will withstand even hurricane winds. With patents like Dura Grip and SureNail technology modern asphalt roofs can be resistant to winds speeds up to 130 MPH.
