Types of Asphalt Shingle Roofs
With the variety of options that asphalt shingles roofing provides, homeowners are able to achieve a unique look on the home without breaking the bank. These are the asphalt shingle types Elo Roofing roof services provider can install in Jacksonville FL homes:
Three-tab Asphalt Shingles
Three-tab shingles are the most common type of asphalt shingle roofing, classified by their cutouts which make them look like three separate pieces. They’re affordable, lightweight, easy to maintain, energy efficient, and can last up to 20 years.
Architectural Asphalt Shingles
Laminated with an additional asphalt layer and bonded with asphalt sealant, architectural asphalt shingles have a more defined, structural look and are more durable and waterproof than three-tab asphalt shingles. They come in a variety of shapes, colors and sizes and can easily mimic the look of more premium roofing alternatives like cedar and slate.
In addition to these types, there are also different materials that your shingles could be made of:
Fiberglass Shingles
Fiberglass shingles are made with a combination of woven fiberglass as the base, asphalt coating, and ceramic granules on top, these materials create a waterproof and UV-protectant shingle while also being extremely lightweight and thin due to its lower amounts of asphalt.
Organic Mat-based Shingles
Organic mat-based shingles are a kind of asphalt shingle roofing has a recycled felt paper layer for its base. They’ll be heavier, thicker, and slightly more expensive than fiberglass shingles but they’re also more rugged and flexible.
Types of Flat Roofs We Install
EPDM Roofs
Also called, ethylene propylene diene monomer, flat roofs are just a fancy way to say that these roofs are made from a synthetic blend of rubber. Most often used for large office spaces, it’s a durable and affordable option for flat roofing. EPDM flat roofs are easy to install, but they’re also prone to leakages. So, it’s important that the flat roof installation contractors make sure the seams are sprayed with a protective sealant. These coatings will add cost but are well worth it to prevent water damage.
BUR Roofs
BUR roofs are a mixture of tar and gravel. This option has become popular because they’re aesthetically pleasing, they make your home more energy efficient, and they are quite durable thanks to the many layers. There are some downsides though. The layers of built-up flat roofing can make it very heavy, so your home will need a thorough evaluation to be sure the structure can bear the weight. Plus, the installation process creates a hazardous area so you won’t be able to live in your house during the renovation.
Modified Bitumen Roofs
Flat roofs are an affordable option but aren’t often used due to their delicate installation process. Because this flat roofing is secured using a blowtorch, it’s imperative that only seasoned flat roofing contractors do the installation. For most people, the dangers outweigh this flat roof cost but, if you’re willing to go for it, it’s a great budget-friendly option.
