As homeowners, we often do our own research about the different types of residential roofing systems. Asphalt shingles have been the most widely used residential roofing material for years, but did you know they can work for commercial roofs as well? Listed below are the major advantages of investing in asphalt shingles for your commercial roof.
Wind resistant
Can resist high winds. Note, though, that there are different wind-resistance ratings, from the lowest (Class D) to the highest (Class H). Class H which stands against winds of up to 150 mph.
Impact Resistant
An impact resistance rating of 1-4 makes them ideal for inclement weather conditions, such as hail storms.
Fire Resistant
Asphalt shingles have a class A fire rating, which gives your home one less hazard to worry about in the event of disasters.
Eco-Friendly
Asphalt shingles are recyclable. Unlike other residential roofing materials that are sent to landfills at the end of their service life, asphalt shingles can be reused in pavement and road construction. They have also been shown to increase road and pavement resistance to fungal growth and fatigue cracking.
Versatile
There is a huge choice of styles for asphalt shingles. They can be made of organic or fiberglass materials, and they are available in an incredibly wide range of designs, gorgeous colors, profiles and textures.
Cost-Effective
Asphalt shingles are very affordable and offer many pricing options. This type of commercial and residential roofing definitely offers value for the money.
