Asphalt Composition
Laminated or architectural shingles consist of two layers bonded together with asphalt sealant. They are coated with ceramic granules available in many color combinations. Some are available with leachable copper helping protect them from algae, discoloration, and protection against moss.
Some manufacturers offer asphalt shingles with a Class 4 rating. This classification makes these asphalt shingles hail resistive and warranted to resist a 2” diameter hail strike. Select insurance companies offer homeowner premium discounts when said products are used, making impact resistant materials a popular choice.
Manufactures offer asphalt shingles with wind warranties and wind ratings. Counties and municipalities many times focus on wind ratings. Wind ratings are established by UL and ASTM testing. For example, a product may have an 80 mph wind warranty and still meet a 110 mph Class F ASTM D3161 wind rating.
Some manufacturers offer asphalt shingles that are energy efficient. Homeowners may qualify to receive a tax credit up to $1,500.00 for installing an energy efficient roof. Energy efficient materials are not offered by all manufacturers and are available in fewer colors.
New Installation
Manufacturers are very specific about installation procedure. It is imperative materials are installed per manufacturer recommendation to prevent voiding a manufacturer warranty. The Ramos Roofing Company ensures proper installation on every job.
Asphalt shingles can be installed on roof slopes greater than a 4/12 pitch. They can be installed between a 2/12 pitch and a 4/12 pitch roof slope if additional roof enhancements are completed. Asphalt shingles should never be installed with a roof slope less than 2/12 pitch. Rolled roofing or low slope roofing products are used for roof slopes less than 2/12 pitch.
Many manufactures require additional enhancements for installing asphalt shingles on very steep roof slopes. Installing asphalt shingles on a Mansard slope 21/12 pitch require additional adhesive to prevent shingles from delaminating. Installing asphalt shingles outside of manufacturer specifications would likely void a material warranty.
