Are you searching for an asphalt roofing contractor in Kansas City?
New technologies in construction, including methods and materials for building, have come a very long way in the United States and around the world. Today’s rooftops for industrial, commercial, and residential buildings are stronger, more cost-effective, and environmentally friendlier than ever before, with recyclable, sustainable materials taking the place of natural resources like wood and stone.
After over twenty years of roofing installations, repairs, and replacements, Smart Exteriors continues its tradition of keeping up-to-date with the latest innovations in roof construction and implementing them into our repertoire of high-quality roofing systems. Our goal is to find the smartest, highest performing, and most affordable roofing materials on the market, and to provide them for our customers right here in the Midwest.
One of our favorite roofing materials that we use in roof constructions is asphalt composite shingles, which are made from polymer modified asphalt. Asphalt composite shingles, also known as SBS shingles, are highly superior to blown-asphalt roofing materials. We don’t use asphalt shingles that have a fiberglass matte, because they don’t stand up against storm damage. Our shingles have a rubberized matte that are either class 3 or class 4 impact-resistant, so you know your roof will last.
Asphalt composite shingles are quickly becoming the preferred option for contractors building homes and commercial buildings all over the country. If you’re interested in building a new roof or replacing an old one with newer, smarter materials for your home or business, Smart Exteriors has you covered with everything you need to know about SBS shingles and asphalt roofing in Kansas City.
Asphalt rooftops are the most common roofing material in homes across the United States and for a very simple reason. Asphalt roofing is much cheaper than other options, at least when it comes to the upfront costs of installation. As cost-effective as asphalt may seem in the beginning, the truth is that asphalt is not an ideal roofing material over the long run. Homeowners with blown-asphalt roof constructions can expect to pay much more in repair and replacement costs when compared to higher performing materials that last longer and are more resistant to cracks and other damages.
Enter SBS shingles. SBS, which stands for the chemical compound styrene-butadiene-styrene, is a synthetic rubber material that can be incorporated in the production of asphalt shingles, modifying its resistance and flexibility. SBS shingles offer much better resistance against the elements compared to blown-asphalt roofing, which is why the best contractors, like our team at Smart Exteriors, prefer to work with this highly superior material today.
The major flexibility of SBS shingles is perhaps its most innovative feature. SBS shingles are designed with a polymer substance that webs together with the raw materials. This blend creates an elastic bond that behaves much like rubber, which allows the material to flex when impacted instead of cracking. This means that your roof will last longer and experience less damage or expensive repair costs when compared to other materials over time.
Some of the other major benefits of SBS roof shingles include the following:
As we mentioned before, asphalt composite roofing materials stand strong in all weather conditions, including heavy rains, high winds, and hailstorms. Because the material is so flexible, SBS shingles bounce back against impacts from heavy-hitting threats, unlike asphalt and other options that tend to crack or split.
Polymer-modified materials reflect the sun and UV rays, which means they’ll keep from becoming weathered, dry, or brittle over time. Unlike blown asphalt, rubber composite shingles are engineered to withstand both hot and cold weather climates, and won’t crack or shrink.
Polymer materials are made from recycled and reclaimed products, which means that they’re also sustainable and ecologically friendlier than other materials. SBS shingles also act as photo catalysts, reflecting sunlight to convert smog into clean air—reducing air pollution in the environment.
SBS shingles reflect the sun’s harmful UV rays, and are made up of color-resistant granules that won’t fade or lose their beauty over time.
