Common Shingle Materials 

Asphalt roof shingles are the commonly used products for making house roofs. These roofing shingles can be produced from different raw products such as red cedar and pine. Young trees usually produce the most recent and latest popular roof shingles. These roof shingles should be sprayed with chemicals to make them durable and more resistant to fire as their counterparts are made from older trees. 

The maximum rating of these modern shingles can only be achieved by putting them over a particular special layer. Aluminum roof shingles have a more extended life period, but they are pricey. Asphalt roof shingles are approximately used by almost 90% of homeowners in America. This is because of their cheap maintenance cost, affordable price, and simplicity of installation. 

The Production Methodology

Asphalt roofing shingles are made by feeding a building product through the roofing machine that adds the other different materials one by one. Shingles and roll roofing can both be made on the same machine.

Looping On a Dry Surface Phase

The reel of the organic fiberglass is arranged and passed through the machine. The base product goes through a dry chamber first. When the incoming roll is depleted, and a new one is placed, the mating is piled in this chamber, allowing the roofing machine to continue to run.

Saturation Phase

The base/building product goes through a pre-saturated stage where hot asphalt is properly sprayed on one side to force out any form of liquidity, or moisture. The mixture is then poured into a drencher chamber full of hot asphalt. Soaking the organic mat in asphalt covers the fibers and fills the gaps.

Wet Looping Phase

The matting is folded once more. While the mat’s cover cools, it is absorbed into the felt, resulting in even more saturation.

Coating Phase

Both sides of the mat are covered with asphalt that has been balanced with a variety of powdered materials. The mat goes through a pair of reels that are distant apart to ensure that it receives enough coating. The saturation or wet looping phase might be skipped if this stage is adequate to cover fibers and existing spaces between them.

The surfacing of Minerals Phase

On the top surface of the covered mat, several ceramic fragments of the chosen hue are applied. On the rear surface, a covering of particles is applied. The covered mat goes through a succession of different stages, which fix the coating fragments in the mixture while cooling it.

Finishing Phase

The finished roofing product is stacked in a cooling chamber to allow the material to harden, creating a durable surface that can withstand harsh weather conditions. 

Cutting Phase

The final product of the shingle sheet is then placed into a cutting machine, where it is sliced into pieces of proper shape and size from the rear side. The machine splits the shingles products into bundles and then puts them together.

Packaging Phase

The Asphalt roof shingle bundles are taken to the warehouse where they will be wrapped and labeled.

Quality Assurance Phase

Each batch will have a specified number of the Asphalt roof shingles sent to a laboratory for rigorous testing to guarantee they fulfill the manufacturers’ strict standards.

Byproducts Phase

Waste goods/byproducts and offcuts are recycled as much as possible and reintroduced into the production cycle.
