Now lets get into the details of all the different types of shingle composed roofs available on the market today.

Energy Efficiency

This will save you money by keeping air conditioning costs down and your homes temperature lower, which could mean lower utility bills. We all know that saving money this day in age is something we should all be focused on. With that being said, composite shingles will help you save money. Composite Shingles also have many great benefits such as: Very low install cost, which is what really makes them stand out from the rest and a decision worth making. They are going to add value to your home because of how durable and dependable they are.

Cost

The installation price of a shingle roof is generally 20 to 30 percent less than the price of a slate roof, which is why people are making this switch. They are cheaper in every way and will save you money.

Composite Shingles also have some down falls as well: If you do not choose high quality shingles that come from a reliable manufacturer such as CertainTeed, your roof may start leaking prematurely. Not all manufacturers products are created equal so make sure when choosing your shingles that they come from a trustworthy company.

Durability

This is one the main reasons most homeowners choose a shingle roof. When looking at how long your new roofing system will protect your home. Composite shingles will last longer than traditional asphalt roofing, but not as long as metal roofs. If you are looking for a system that will hold up under harsh weather conditions this is the way to go.

When comparing the cost between composite and metal roof shingles, they are about even when considering the life span of each. Metal roof systems are known to last longer so you get more out of your money with this type of material.

Composite Roof Shingles can be installed on any type of home or building with little or no changes required for your existing structure. This means an easier installation and faster project completion because fewer problems will arise during installation.

Design Choices

One of the best things about composite shingles is the many different designs and color’s to chose from. With shingles you can mix and match to find the perfect color and design combination to match your home.

Impact Rating

Composite shingles are impact rated at 2x that of asphalt shingles. This means they can withstand the weather elements and high winds better than any other kind of roofing material. Composite shingles are best known for lasting a longer period of time due to their durability and quality materials used in manufacturing. It has been proven that composite shingle roofing systems last up to three times longer than standard asphalt shingles, making them an excellent investment for homeowners looking to add value, beauty and money saving features to their homes or buildings. With no need to replace your roof on a regular basis, these products will save you thousands over the years while also giving you ample warning before it is time to change out your roof again.

Class A Fire Rating

Another great feature is having a high fire rating, which means that your roof will not catch fire as quickly or easily, giving you more time to get out of your house in the event of a catastrophic fire. Class-A fire ratings are considered the highest quality rating available for roofing materials, and since this class covers all types of roofs, it is one of the most important standards to look for when shopping around for your new shingle roof.

Sound Protection

Tired of hearing all the noise from outside your home? Well, if you are shopping for a new roof, your best bet is to ensure that it comes with soundproofing properties. This will help to keep all of the noise from your family and neighborhood inside where it belongs. It also can help insulate your house so you can save on energy costs in the long run.

Algae Resistance

How resistant your roof is to algae is a huge factor to consider when choosing a new roofing system. You want to ensure that your roof will not be stained unlike some other shingles on the market. Algae resistance is determined by a certain PH level in the material of the shingle. Shingles with no or low pH are much more resistant to algae and stains than those with high pH levels.

Ventilation

Composite and asphalt shingles both offer great ventilation for your roof. Composite shingles are better at allowing air to flow through the material while also providing more breathability between the roof and insulation underneath it. Asphalt shingles, on the other hand, can melt in higher temperatures if there is not enough ventilation underneath them. By choosing a composite shingle you can lose additional heat from your attic and save yourself money on your energy bill.
