Where Are Roofing Shingles Made

Roofing shingles are manufactured at facilities that are usually owned by companies that specialise in the manufacture of entire roofing systems. These factories contain manufacturing and storage halls that can cover a significant amount of space.Modern production lines are totally automated and use the most cutting-edge technologies available.

Roofers in Denver tell us that roofing shingles can now be built of a variety of materials, including asphalt (reinforced with fibreglass or organic compounds), metal, or slate. Some (metal shingles) closely resemble the original wood roofing shingles, while others (slate roofing shingles) are particularly long-lasting.

Roofing shingles

  • Shingles on the roof can be made from a variety of materials. Red cedar and pine are used to make shingles on a wooden roof. 
  • Modern roofing shingles  is made from young trees and must be treated with chemical preservatives  to last as long as the old ones made from old trees. To obtain fire resistance  comparable to other types of  shingles, they  also need to be chemically treated. In fact, the highest rating can only be achieved when stacked on a particular trackbed. Although fairly expensive, aluminum shingles has a long service life. Their appeal stems from their light weight, low cost, simplicity of installation, and low maintenance requirements. 
  • A typical asphalt roofing  shingle is a rectangle with a width of 12-18 inches  and a length of 36-40 inches. 
  • Several cutouts run along one edge of popular patterns, forming tabs that resemble tiny, individual roofing shingles. The most frequent number of tabs is three, but it can range from two to five. During installation, some designs are designed to interlock with adjacent shingles, providing a more windresistant surface.

HOW ROOFING SHINGLES ARE MADE

  • Limestone rock, which typically arrives at plants by truck or rail car, is processed by crushing mills into a fine limestone powder. 
  • After that, the powder is blended with the asphalt to create a product known as filled coating.
  • On the production line, miles  of rolled fiberglass mats that act as the “backbone” of shingles are unfolded and supplied to coaters. On the coater, a filling coating overheated to over 400 degrees Fahrenheit  is applied up and down. The mat that forms the base sheet to be created.
  • Limestone that arrives at the factory by truck or rail  is usually processed  into  fine limestone powder at the crushing factory.
  • Next is the single granule. Mined rock selected for use as granules undergoes a special ceramic coating process.
  • The granules withinside the coating are tinted to generate the favored roofing shingle colours, and the granules are supposed to preserve their look for the lifestyles of the roofing shingle.
  • A thin layer of sand is applied while the base sheet is pressed into the press that embeds the granules.
  • As the panel passes through a series of rollers, a thin mist of water is sprayed onto the panel and the evaporation of  water extracts heat from the panel.
  • Next, a sealing strip  is placed at the top of the panel to protect the  shingles from wind damage.
  • The base plate is then cut into individual herpes zoster, stacked using advanced cutting equipment, and wrapped in bundles.
  • Finally, the single bundle is packed, loaded onto pallets, shipped to the warehouse and then delivered to the customer.
