Roofing Shingle Technology: SBS Ain't No BS

A problem known as 'thermal cracking' has been a well-known issue effecting traditional fiberglass shingles

. These types of shingles have a tendency to expand and contract due to changes in temperature. As a result, stress builds up and produces tears or cracks in the shingle.

As all Midwesterners know, winters in the heartland are rough, and installing traditional fiberglass shingles doesn't make a lot of sense. The solution? SBSalso known as Styrene Butadiene Styrene. SBS technology provides enhanced flexibility and strength not found in fiberglass shingles. SBS is a thermoplastic rubber, which modifies the properties of the asphalt in some of today's modern shingles. This rubberized ingredient creates a more elastic shingle in low temperatures than its old-school fiberglass counterparts, and yields a number of enhanced properties.

For example, the flexibility gains achieved through SBS technology can aid shingles in meeting higher wind approvals, achieving greater fire resistance ratings and most importantly yielding greater impact resistance. Specific to impact resistance, incorporating SBS into a shingle's asphalt formulation has been known to help the shingle obtain the coveted Class 4 Impact Resistance ratingcertainly coveted by any homeowner who's roof endures grueling Midwestern hail, snow and wind storms. Asphalt shingle products such as StormMaster LM, StormMaster Slate and Art-Loc are all based on a specialized SBS formulation and can provide the ultimate weather protection for your roof. Not only that, but the increased durability provided by SBS technology will also ensure that your new roof will be looking new, longer. If you're entertaining bids for a new roof, be sure that your roofing contractor isn't selling you some BS shingle. (Ask for SBS instead.)
