Atmore Asphalt Roofing Shingles
Atmore Asphalt Roofing Shingles
Asphalt shingles are a variety of roof shingles. They have become popularly used nowadays in Atmore because they are inexpensive, economical, lighter, and easier to install compared to tiles, and have good insulation qualities compared to galvanized iron sheets. Moreover, in terms of aesthetics, they give the house a textured, classic, and elegant look.
Asphalt became widely used as a roofing material in the 1890s when a chemist experimented and developed paper infused with asphalt for roofing purposes. Felt is soaked in asphalt. Pellet-like minerals are then embedded into the asphalt’s surface while still hot and soft. Shingles are used and attached to a deck, which may be plywood, fiber cement board, Hardiflex, or even galvanized iron sheet.
There are two types of asphalt Atmore roofing shingles – organic and glass fiber. Organic shingles are generally made of waste paper soaked in asphalt, coated with adhesive asphalt, and embedded with ceramic grains. Fiberglass shingles, on the other hand, have a base composed of a glass fiber mat made from fiberglass mixed with resin. They are made waterproof by a layer of asphalt. A variety of fiberglass asphalt shingles has been introduced and is now known as the laminated shingle, which, as the name suggests, uses two layers laminated with sealant. It is much more costly yet also more durable.
