What Are Composite Roof Shingles and Why Are They So Popular?

If you’re a sucker for grand looks, you’ll probably settle for nothing less than real cedar shingles for your roof. Sure, they are naturally beautiful, but the truth is they lack versatility. In comparison, composite roof shingles come in a host of colors, so you can choose the perfect design to match your home.

Composite shingles are a mixture of several roofing materials, which when combined, have some excellent performance features. This is why they are one of the most popular roofing materials available today. They can consist of slate, wood, laminate and shake. Price wise, they compare very favorably with other roofing materials.

Composite roof shingles are renowned for their durability. Other shingles last for 15 to 20 years on average, while the composite variety can last from 30 to 50 years. Some are even guaranteed to last a lifetime. Moreover, today’s composite roof shingles are made with special additives to offer attractive features.  For example they are resistant to UV degradation, as well as moss and algae growth. And, with time, they will take on the distinctive gray color of cedar shakes.

What’s more, composites don’t warp, peel, blister, split or crack. Also, they are made with some recyclable materials such as hemp fibers and post-industrial plastics.

The performance of composite roof shingles depends on their constituents. Therefore, installation and maintenance should be handled by a professional roofing contractor.
