Ever find tiny granules in your yard after a storm? Those little particles are shingle granules, a crucial part of your roofing system. At J Bos Inc. Roofing Services, we know how important these granules are for your roof’s safety and longevity. Let’s dive into why they matter and how our expertise ensures your roof stays in top condition.
What Are Shingle Granules?
Shingle granules are small, mineral particles embedded in the surface of asphalt shingles. They serve multiple purposes:
- Protection: Granules protect the shingles from harmful UV rays, which can degrade the asphalt over time.
- Durability: They add an extra layer of durability, helping shingles resist wear and tear.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Granules give shingles their color, enhancing your home’s curb appeal.
Why Do Shingle Granules Matter?
Losing shingle granules is more than a cosmetic issue. Here’s why you should pay attention:
- UV Protection: Without granules, shingles are exposed to UV rays, accelerating aging and increasing the risk of leaks.
- Water Resistance: Granules help repel water. When they’re gone, shingles can absorb moisture, leading to rot and mold.
- Impact Resistance: Granules add weight and strength to shingles, helping them withstand hail and heavy rain.
Causes of Granule Loss
Several factors can lead to granule loss:
- Age: Over time, shingles naturally shed granules. It’s a sign your roof might need replacing.
- Weather: Harsh weather, especially hail and high winds, can strip granules from shingles.
- Poor Installation: Incorrect installation can cause premature granule loss.
