Asphalt roof shingle systems continue to prove a popular choice with builders and homeowners throughout Australia. The material has already established itself in the US market, with over 80 per cent of homes using asphalt roofing materials. As we share a similar climate here in Australia, people are beginning to sit up and take notice of the benefits asphalt shingles provide for their homes.
Asphalt shingle roofing systems withstand the varying elements of the Australian climate. They are also a rust-free alternative to many other roofing materials, and are available in a wide range of naturally sourced colour’s, complementing our diverse Australian environment. Asphalt shingles are a durable material, backed by their extreme fire resistance, earning them a class ‘A’ fire rating, which offers homeowners with families a high level of comfort.
Asphalt shingle roofing is easy to install, resulting in significant cost savings. Its overlapping design also provides a reliable waterproofing solution. The minimal water absorption makes the shingles frost-resistant, which is common on cold mornings. It is a lightweight material that reduces any dead loads on your roof.

Another positive aspect of asphalt roofing is its low maintenance. The nature of an asphalt shingle system makes repairs easy. The shingle strips used to create the roof have mineral granules embedded in the material. A sure sign these strips need replacing is when you find the granules have washed away. A handy tip when replacing shingles is to do the work on a warm day. The heat makes the strips more flexible, reducing the risk of cracking.
