You probably don’t spend much time thinking about your roof. But it’s more than a collection of shingles—it’s the first line of defense that protects you and keeps your home warm and dry. At Piedmont Roofing Co., we are Atlanta’s premier shingle roofing company.
We believe in educating our neighbors about the materials that protect their homes, so let’s look at how asphalt shingles are made.
From Raw Materials to Your Rooftop
Asphalt shingles are the backbone of many Atlanta homes, crafted through a meticulous process that blends art and science. The journey begins with a few key ingredients:
The Anatomy of an Asphalt Shingle
A well-crafted shingle balances strength, weather resistance, and aesthetic appeal. The main components include:
- Reinforcing Mat: A fiberglass foundation, providing the shingle’s structural integrity against wind and impact. This mat is engineered to withstand the stresses of everyday weather so your roof remains steadfast.
- Weatherproofing Asphalt: This refined blend helps with water runoff and prevents leaks, essential in Atlanta’s variable climate. Our shingles are designed to repel moisture, safeguarding your home’s interior from potential water damage.
- Protective Granules: Mineral coatings, shielding against UV rays and adding a touch of color to complement your home. These granules not only enhance the visual appeal of your roof but also extend its lifespan by deflecting harmful sun exposure.
The Transformation Process
Once you have the components, it’s time to put them together!
- Mat Preparation: The fiberglass mat is formed, setting the stage for the shingle’s durability. This process involves careful weaving and layering to create a strong, resilient base.
- Saturation and Coating: The mat absorbs asphalt, creating a waterproof barrier. This step is important to make sure your roof remains leak-free, even during heavy rainfall.
- Granule Embedding: Granules are meticulously applied, offering protection and visual appeal. This process involves precise application for even coverage and long-lasting protection.
- Shaping and Packaging: The shingle is cut to size and readied for installation. This final step means that each shingle meets our stringent quality standards.
