Asphalt shingles are constructed from a fiberglass roofing felt mat that has been saturated in asphalt and treated with ceramic grains to provide UV protection from the sun and weather. Asphalt shingles are available in a number of colours and styles, including 3-tab and dimensional varieties.
Because of their price, ease of installation, and flexibility, shingles are the most popular roofing material for Ontario homes. Choosing the correct roofing contractor for your shingle project, on the other hand, can be the difference between getting 5 to 10 years out of your new shingle roof and getting the entire 20-year life expectancy.
The following are some of the advantages of using shingles on your home’s roof:
- Variety-Asphalt shingles are available in a variety of styles to match different architectural designs.
- Colors-Asphalt shingles come in a variety of colours and can be reinforced with organic materials or fibreglass without changing their appearance.
