The shingle roofing system is made up generally of three parts: fiberglass sheets, petroleum adhesive and ceramic or stone aggregate. These shingles are placed on top of a petroleum-based tar paper often called roofing felt which protects the wood sheeting or deck of the roof from moisture. All of this roofing anatomy quickly degrades except for the topmost and most important ingredient of a roofing shingle system, the aggregate.
Roofing aggregate is pressed into the hot asphalt- or petroleum-based adhesive on top of a shingle and it becomes a protective barrier for nature to attack and slowly eat away during a shingle roof’s life cycle. It largely protects the roofing system from two weathering elements: rain and storms, and solar degradation. This aggregate reflects the sun’s rays from the roof and over time is designed to weather away little by little completing the service life of the shingle roof system.
