Every asphalt shingle's journey begins with a sturdy fiberglass mat. Bound with resins and binders, this mat forms the foundation, offering reinforcement and resilience.
Not just for roads, a special blend of asphalt is applied to the fiberglass mat, providing the shingle's primary waterproofing and weather-resistant qualities. A fine mineral powder is mixed in to enhance durability and fire resistance.
Granules give shingles their color and texture but, more importantly, protect against UV rays and add fire resistance. Made from crushed stone, they're the first line of defense against weather.
Thermally-activated sealants and laminating adhesives ensure that shingles stay in place and perform under pressure, from scorching heat to wild winds.
