Fiber Glass Shingles

Fiber glass shingles carry a Class A fire resistance rating from Underwriters Laboratories (UL), the highest fire rating available. Thus, fiber glass shingles are the best protection against the spread of flame on a roof.

Fiber glass shingles are built on a core, or mat, of fiber glass reinforcement. Asphalt coating is applied directly to this mat, and protective, colored granules are embedded into the coating. Since the mat does not need to be saturated with asphalt, fiber glass shingles are lighter in weight than organic shingles and are more resistant to heat and humidity. Perhaps the most important factor that influences the quality of fiber glass shingle performance is the quality of the mat used in the construction of the shingle. Throughout the roofing industry, the quality of fiber glass mats varies widely. The best measurement of fiber glass shingle performance is ASTM D3462, a standard established by the American Society for Testing and Materials specifically for fiber glass shingles.

Metal Roofing

A metal roofing system exemplifies how innovative thinking can use a proven product in an entirely new way. Metal is synonymous with strength and toughness, but as a roofing material, strength is only one of the advantages of metal. Now, thanks to innovation, this same durable material has been improved, modified and applied in a new way to meet the needs of the roofing industry. Metal roofing is surprisingly affordable due to the fact that a metal roof is a permanent one; the life-cycle costs are substantially lower than conventional materials. For aesthetics, metal comes in a variety of styles and colors to fit your personal preference. We’ve installed metal roofing products from Decra, Classic Products, Stongpanel and Pac-Clad.

Advantages of a Metal Roof
