Asphalt shingles are designed to protect your home from the elements, but they are constantly exposed to sunlight, heat, rain, wind, hail and changing temperatures. Over time, that exposure can lead to granular loss, dryness, brittleness and cracking.
Your roof may look simple from the ground, but every shingle plays an important role in protecting your home. As the roof ages, several changes can occur.
Granular loss: the granules covering asphalt shingles provide an important protective surface. As shingles age or experience repeated weather exposure, these granules can loosen and wash into gutters and downspouts. Significant granular loss leaves more of the asphalt material exposed to continued environmental stress.
Drying: sunlight and heat continually affect roofing materials. Over time, asphalt shingles can dry out and become less flexible.
Brittleness: a shingle that has lost flexibility may become more vulnerable to cracking, impact and other damage.
Weather exposure: rain, wind, hail, sunlight, heat and changing seasonal temperatures all contribute to the gradual aging of roofing materials. Protective treatment helps homeowners take action before deterioration becomes extensive.
Superior Roof Coatings uses GoNano technology to help strengthen and preserve qualifying asphalt shingles.
Consider having your asphalt roof evaluated if you notice:
Finding roof granules in a gutter can be easy to overlook. However, those granules are part of the shingle’s protective system. As granular loss progresses, the asphalt beneath becomes increasingly exposed.
Protecting qualifying shingles before extensive granule loss occurs can help slow the deterioration process and preserve the roof longer.
The goal of asphalt shingle protection is not to avoid necessary replacement forever. Every roofing system eventually reaches the end of its usable life.
Protection is about helping homeowners preserve shingles that still have life remaining. If your roof is suitable for treatment, strengthening the existing shingles may help delay premature replacement and allow you to get greater value from your current roofing investment.
A roof does not go from new to failed overnight. There is often an aging period when shingles are beginning to show wear but the roofing system may still be a candidate for protective treatment.
That is the opportunity Superior Roof Coatings wants homeowners to understand. If your shingles are beginning to age, an evaluation can help determine whether GoNano protection is appropriate.
Your roof is one of the most important exterior systems on your property. Give your existing asphalt shingles the protection they need to continue doing their job.
