    Roofing Shingles

What Are

Shingles?

Fiberglass shingles have a glass fiber reinforcing mat manufactured to the shape of the shingle. This mat is then coated with asphalt which contains mineral fillers. The glass fiber mat is not waterproof by itself. It's purpose is for reinforcement. What makes the glass fiber shingle waterproof is the asphalt. However, the asphalt itself will not stick to the mat. For this reason, "fillers" are used. The fillers in the asphalt cling to the glass fibers in the mat. The asphalt then encapsulates the glass fibers, fills all of the little holes and voids in the mat rendering it waterproof. After this cools a bit, an adhesive asphalt is used to cover the mat and the ceramic granules are then embedded. Asphalt shingles are available in a wide variety of colors to match almost any facade or landscape.

How Long Do

Shingles Last?

The lifespan of asphalt shingles depends highly upon the type of shingle selected as well as the environment where it is installed. Shingles in cooler climates such as the northern United States tend to last longer than those installed in the warmer climates with excessive UV exposure. Heavier weight dimensional or architectural shingles last longer then traditional 3-tab or strip style shingles. Most shingle roofs installed in the Florida climate will last between 12-20 years depending on the quality of shingle selected.
