What Are Shingles Made Of?

Roofing shingles, typically made from asphalt, are crafted through a meticulous process. Firstly, raw materials such as limestone, sand, and petroleum are blended to create asphalt. Then, a fiberglass mat is produced by weaving together strands of glass fiber. This mat serves as the base for the shingle. Next, the asphalt is heated and mixed with ceramic granules for durability and UV protection. This mixture is then applied onto the fiberglass mat, and additional materials like adhesive strips are added to enhance installation. The shingles are then cut into the desired shape and size before being packaged for distribution.
