What are Greener Shingles?

When you think about shingles, you usually imagine them as being black sheets of roofing material made to protect your home from the elements. The color green doesn’t often come to mind when you consider roofs; however, it can be a great investment for the longevity of your shingles. Greener Shingles is a USDA certified rejuvenating solution that will keep your shingles healthier for longer so you can save time and money.

The Greener Way

Green solutions to common household problems are a great innovation of the modern world, and Greener Shingles is one such solution that pays off in keeping your shingles flexible which will give them a longer lifespan for a fraction of the cost of a replacement. Roof replacements are a sizable investment, so anything you can do to extend the life of your shingles can pay off immensely. 

So how does the Green Shingles solution work? Just like your skin without moisturizer, your shingles will dry out over time. This is due to several factors including leaching by the elements, and the baking heat and UV radiation of the sun. Being exposed to the great outdoors for the entirety of their lifespan means that shingles have a rough life, but the Greener Shingles cleaning solution works much like a healing balm or lotion for your dried out roof.

The Greener Shingles solution is a biobased soy liquid that is USDA-certified for safety and environmental friendliness. The shingle restoration process is just as painless for you as it is for the environment: first, the solution is sprayed directly on your shingles, and then within an hour your roof will soak in the natural oils from the Greener Shingles solution. This will make them flexible and durable once more, providing them with a protective coating that makes them look almost brand new again!

Saving It Up

This innovation for shingle rejuvenation comes at a time when asphalt shingles are slowly degrading in quality as shingle companies use less asphalt in their shingles and replace it with cheap limestone- this causes roofs to degrade more quickly. However, when Greener Shingles is applied before major degradation occurs, it can still help your roof stay damage free for much longer than it would be expected to (the average lifespan for asphalt shingle roofs is 15-20 years)

Prevention is the best medicine and adding some years to your roof through the Greener Shingles restoration will preserve your shingles beyond their expected lifespan. As Benjamin Franklin said, “a stitch in time saves nine,” and this is very true when it comes to home maintenance as taking simple steps to preserve your investments now will pay off greatly later in time, money, and difficulty.
