Asphalt shingle roofs typically come with protective granules that are adhered to the material’s surface as part of the manufacturing process. The purpose of these granules is to protect the shingles from blistering sunlight and other harsh weather conditions. Shingles will lose these protective granules over time, but when does it actually signal a roof replacement? Diamond Roofing Specialists, Inc., one of the area’s leading roofers, answers that here.
What Can Cause Shingle Granule Loss?
There are plenty of reasons an asphalt shingle roofing system may shed their protective granules. Here are some of them:
When Does Shingle Granule Loss Indicate a Roof Replacement?
A shingle roof system that is already past its prime may start losing granules excessively. You’ll know because the shingles are worn smooth or already “bald”, exposing the black shingle substrate. Should this be the case, then you’ll need to get new roofing promptly to avoid extensive weather damage to your home. You can count on Diamond Roofing Specialists, Inc. for this.
