Effects of Elements on Shingles

     Your roof goes through a lot of wear and tear within its average life. the sun can increase the temperature on your roof by 50 to 75 degrees. This can cause your roofing materials to crack and blister. The heat produced is not the only problem, the sun is also a source of UV radiation. UV radiation can cause the asphalt layers of your shingles to degrade. A layer of protective granules, some also have a coating of a Scotch Guard, to help reduce the suns effect. "Acid Rain", sound scary? It can be for your shingles. As moisture collects in the atmosphere it also picks up the pollution in the air, then it condenses into rain and all those toxic chemicals are carried down and deposited on your roof. When this happens the asphalt in the shingles degrade. Those chemicals gradually eat away at the components of your roof.
     Basically all the elements that your roof is exposed to will cause it to fade, degrade, deteriorate, and eventually cause leaks. when you do start developing those small leaks i would recommend having your roof inspected so that you may make an informed decision on repair or replace.
     
     I have included an example picture below to show the difference in worn and new shingles

This just simply tells us that we should invest on not so affordable roof. They tend to last longer and a lot more durable than cheaper roofs, which will eventually save us money in its lifetime. And also consider coatings and high quality paints.

A lot of new roof types are being introduced, like metal roof, even green roof. They will really endure through toughest weather, but you have to also prepare your roof during those times specially your budget.
