Asphalt Shingle Components

  • Fiberglass Mat: The first step is to lay down a fiberglass mat that reinforces the shingles after they’re put on.
  • Asphalt: Asphalt is applied to the shingles to act as a waterproofing agent and to hold the shingles in place.
  • Fillers: Fillers are added to the asphalt mix to increase the resistance to heat UV radiation and more.
  • Granules: These make up the grainy exterior of your shingles. They provide UV resistance to the asphalt below.
  • Back Surfacing: This is applied to the back of the shingles to prevent sticking during storage.
