Asphalt shingles are one of the most popular roofing substrates to being installed. This is mostly due to its affordable price point, durability and variability offered for both color and texture and warranty coverage options. Over the years various manufacturers have added additional color options to their palettes, also diversifying texture and enhancing their energy efficiency. These shingles are most ideal for slopes greater than 2/12. What are your options when it comes to asphalt shingles and are the buy-up warranties available?
CertainTeed is one of the nation’s leading manufacturers of asphalt shingles with a very diversified portfolio. CertainTeed uses different names for their shingles to communicate the different profiles, components and warranties available.
The Landmark Series provides homeowners with an affordable re-roofing option without breaking the bank or compromising aesthetic appeal. There are four levels of high-performance shingles — typically these levels are determined by the weight and thickness of the product. All options provide homeowners with the industry’s highest quality and durable materials. This series also maintains its beauty throughout time and comes with a StreakFighter™ warranty that will protect your roof from streaking, which can be caused by airborne algae.
The shingles included in this series are: Landmark™TL, Landmark™Premium, Landmark™ Pro, and Landmark™.
These are in order of listing the best performance rating first.
In addition to the above Landmark™ Series, there are also energy efficient alternatives when reroofing. These are known as Landmark Solaris™. These shingles have the ability to reduce your home’s temperature by as much as 20 percent in the summer months and carry the Energy Star seal of approval. Much like the previous Landmark™ Series the products are available at different performance levels and color palettes and they are called: Landmark Solaris™ Gold and Landmark Solaris™ and Platinum, Landmark Solaris™. Be sure to ask your Surface Shield estimator to show you this energy efficient line.
