Malarkey Roofing Products shingles use rubberized asphalt for industry-leading tear strength and granule adhesion, as well as wind and hail resistance. Daily and seasonal temperature changes cause roofing shingles to constantly expand and contract. This strain on the shingles causes standard shingles to prematurely crack. Additionally, in very strong winds, standard, brittle shingles will snap. NEX?? technology preserves asphalt’s natural suppleness and pliability to resist hardening and granule loss, and NEX?? asphalt remains flexible in strong winds to prevent shingle tears and blow-offs. Malarkey shingles have up to 30% greater tear strength than the industry standard (ASTM D3462) and include wind warranties up to 130 mph. https://lnkd.in/e7eEV-ns #Ad #Asphalt #BuildingMaterials #Contractor #Performance #Roofing
