What are the Benefits of Fiberglass Roofing?

About 70 years ago the roofing shingle manufacturers started learning the great benefits of fiberglass. Unlike many other types of roofing products, fiberglass was very pliable. It could be bent and molded into just about any shape.

This benefit came into play with roofing in the late 1930s. Shortly after, the professionals in roofing found that another benefit of fiberglass roofing was durability and weather resistance.

The reason for this pliability and durability was because of the way the fiberglass shingles were made. The combination of very fine glass fibers mixed with a resin that was called protrusion was blended and stretched together. Then this mixture was cut and shaped into the shingles we see today.

You will also find that the Columbus Roofing professionals have another benefit in store for you. They offer a wide variety of colors and designs in the fiberglass shingles. You can mix and match just about any color to come up with the design you had in mind.

The total weight of the fiberglass shingles is also significantly less than other types. This makes it much easier for the installation process. The surprising part about the weight is that even lighter in weight; the fiberglass shingles can still withstand wind strengths of 110 mph.

In addition to all of this, another benefit is fire resistance. The fiberglass shingles have a class (A) fire resistance. In roofing that is a key factor in insurance evaluations, and family safety.
