Asphalt Shingle Roof
 
 
Asphalt roofing materials have been manufactured since th1890's.Approximately 80-90 percent of all roofs in the United States are asphalt shingles.They are attractive, versatile and reistant to fire and wind.
Asphalt shingles are comprised of roofing felt, saturated with asphalt and imbedded with a layer of mineral granules. Asphalt shingles are the most common roofing
material. Asphalt shingle roofs are inexpensive and require little maintenance.This roof is easy roof repair compared to the other roofs.
An organic asphalt shingle roof can be expected to last 15-20 years.Heavyweight
laminated fiberglass shingles will last 20-30
years, there are even 50 year shingles. When determining what life expectancy to choose, think of how many tears you are planning to live in your home.
  Asphalt shingles are made of flat rectangle shaped roofing elements which overlaps each other.To increase their wind resitance,many asphalt shingles come witha self-sealing thermoplastic adhesive strip. Heat from the sun makes the sticky and helps to bond each shingle to the one above it.The adhesive strip take longer to bond in cold weather or when the roof has a low slope or when the roof is shaded. Or if the roof faces north or east.

Built-up roofs are made from alternating layers of roofing felt and hot tar,covered witha protective layer of gravel.They are more commonly found on commercail builldings but are suited for flat roofs or roofs with a slope of less than 3-in-12.

There are three types of built up roofing :

1.Aggregate - surfaced roofing -which uses a layer of aggregate embedded in a flood coat of bitumen.

2.Smooth surface roofing-which uses a glaze coat of bituminous or fibrated aluminum materials.
