Choosing the right roofing material for your home can be challenging as there are many factors to consider. The climate you live in, your budget, and the durability of the roofing material will all have an impact on the type of roof you eventually choose. If you are looking for a high-grade roofing material, TAMKO Titan XT shingles are a brand we like to offer our customers. The shingles are made with high-grade asphalt and can withstand severe weather, among other great qualities. Here are some reasons why homeowners love them.
The high-grade asphalt and reinforced mat make TAMKO Titan XT shingles an excellent choice for severe weather conditions. Whether you live in an area that gets strong winds, hail, or pounding rain, the TAMKO shingles won’t tear or lift off like standard shingles. They also come with an Advanced Fusion adhesive strip to ensure each shingle bonds to your roof. This design reduces the risk that the shingles will blow off during strong winds.
Furthermore, the shingles are Class 3 Impact Rated, which means they can withstand wind speeds up to 60 mph and impacts from steel balls up to 1.75 inches in diameter. What does this mean for homeowners? Hail can cause significant damage to roofs, such as tiny cracks and tears. Sometimes, this damage isn’t visible to the naked eye. Over time, moisture can collect in the cracks and tears, weakening the shingles. With the TAMKO Titan XT shingles, however, the damage to roofs from hail is reduced.
Another reason homeowners love the TAMKO Titan XT shingles is their enhanced durability. Each shingle is made up of two fiberglass mat layers that are coated with unique weather-grade asphalt. They are then surfaced with ceramic-fired granules and laminated together. This design ensures the shingles are less likely to crack, warp, or split in harsh weather conditions. There is also an AnchorLock polyester fabric layer of protection on the back of the shingle which provides an anchor for the nails.
What this means for homeowners is that the shingles are more resistant to the usual wear and tear that roofs with standard shingles experience over time. This durability means fewer repairs over the years, and fewer repairs and less maintenance translates into more money saved.
One of the key advantages TAMKO Titan XT shingles have over standard shingles is their resistance to algae. For homeowners living in wet or humid climates, long-term damage can result if issues with algae are not addressed.
TAMKO’s Titan XT shingles have built-in features that help prevent the growth of algae. Not only does this design help extend the lifespan of your roof, it helps with the aesthetic appeal of your home. When algae starts to grow on surfaces, you’ll notice unsightly dark streaks. This can potentially decrease the value of your home.
With algae-resistant features, though, you won’t need to apply chemical treatment to remove algae. You can also prevent the premature aging and damage of your shingles caused by algae.
Installing a new roof is a large investment, so choosing one with a long lifespan can provide peace of mind. TAMKO Titan XT shingles are designed to endure. Their weather-resistant asphalt and reinforced base helps prevent the usual wear and tear that can shorten the lifespan of roofs with standard shingles. In addition, their durability and better weather protection mean significantly less wear and tear over the years, resulting in a longer lifespan.
Many homeowners are now looking to reduce their carbon footprint. One of the ways to do this is by choosing environmentally friendly roofing materials. The good news is that TAMKO Titan XT shingles reuse existing materials. This contribution to a circular economy reduces waste and reduces the need for new raw materials.
Moreover, the light-colored shingles reflect more sunlight, keeping your home cooler during hot weather. This technology – known as “cool roof” – can reduce your energy consumption by reducing your need for air conditioning.
