Roof Shingle Manufacturing Process

Our manufacturing process is both precise and unique.

Roof shingle manufacturing process.

Roof shingles consist of a series of individual overlapping components that when laid together in rows or courses starting at the bottom edge of a roof form a barrier designed to repel water snow and ice. At each of eagle s four manufacturing plants concrete roof tiles are rapidly produced at a rate of 1 tile to every 50 to 75 seconds. Asphalt roofing shingles are reinforced with a thin fiberglass mat made from glass fibers of specific length and diameter bound together with the help of stable resins and binders. This careful combination of ingredients is pressed onto steel molds creating the shape of the concrete roof tile.

Roof shingles are installed in such a fashion that each seam or joint is overlapped by a shingle further up the roof. Overlap each metal piece by at least 150 mm 6 and use asphalt plastic cement under each section of overlap. Strips or spots of a thermoplastic adhesive are applied to most shingles during the manufacturing process. Each tile is made by sourcing the highest quality raw materials available which are.

The manufacturing process asphalt shingles are produced by passing the base material through a machine that successively adds the other components. Everything can be done at a distance. The 3 tab asphalt shingle is the least expensive asphalt shingle product common to new construction. Sand cement water and iron oxide.

The deep lines and authentic grooves of a classic metal shingle roof are created when specially coated aluminum coil goes through a series of dies in a large bed high tonnage stamping press similar to what was used to make the body of the vehicle you drive. Laminated shingles are also called architectural dimensional or dragon tooth 3 tab shingles this is the basic type of asphalt shingle. As mentioned the manufacturing process uses a continuous web or sheet which provides the foundation upon which the asphalt and other materials are applied. It is composed of a single layer with cut outs forming 3 individual tabs.

And your family can remain in the home during the installation or repair. Thanks to digital technology all of your decisions and interactions from selecting the right roofer to choosing a shingle to paying the contractor can be done at a distance. Once installed on a roof the shingles are heated by the sun and this adhesive is activated to bond overlapping shingles together for increased wind resistance. Center a minimum 610 mm 24 wide minimum 28 gauge pre finished galvanized metal valley liner in the valley and fasten with only enough nails to hold it in place nailing at the edges only.
