A Word About Asphalt Roofing
For those of you who are wondering what Asphalt Rolled Roofing is, we can sum it up for you and help you gain a better understanding of when and why you might want to consider using this versatile product. Basically, rolled roofing is the same material as the more typical asphalt shingles but instead it comes in ready to roll out packages that usually measure in 18 or 36 widths and is manufactured or fabricated the same way as the shingles but are primarily used for underlayments and flashings or to aid in sealing intersections on the roof. This is not to say that the rolled techniques are restricted to this use, entire roofs can also be covered with this product. This type of roofing material is exceptional when speed is of the essence.
An important thing to consider when choosing to use Asphalt Rolled Roofing is the ease and speed of the application and because of this, the average homeowner will not require a lot of previous experience before using it. It is important to understand that there are different types of rolled asphalt and each one has its own unique reasons for applications, for instance, a smooth or felt coated surface has a dusting of ground talc or mica where a different type might have been covered with small mineral granules or rocks. Mineral surfaced Asphalt roofing is most often used on barns, shed and other multi purpose out building because they are frequently smaller surfaces.
An important thing to take into consideration is the manufacturer that you choose. Make sure that they are registered or affiliatedwith the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association, or ARMA. This organization was established in 1915 for the purpose of providing the general public with an association of honest, high quality suppliers and manufacturers of Asphalt Rolled Roofing as well as many of the other asphalt roofing products and equipment. ARMA also keeps informed of product performance as well as making sure that all suppliers and manufacturers receive important and current product information that will help to promote the proper use of, not only Asphalt Rolled Roofing but other roofing materials as well.
