If you rather prefer a rectangular look on your charming summer cottage or modern carport, take a look at our Superglass asphalt roof shingle. Offering the same quality at the same economical price, it is a great alternative.
Your advantage with this Superglass Biber roof shingle:
- Top quality fibreglass high grade bitumen 3TAB shingles
- The most time-tested and widely used shingles
- Exceptional value for money
- Highly resistant to colour fading
Shingles are made in a continuous process:
- Large rolls of glass mat are fed into a dry looper, which serves as an accumulator.
The glass mat moves to the coater.
- At the coater, coating bitumen is applied to the top and bottom surfaces of the sheet.
Mineral stabilizers are added to the coating that improves the shingle's fire resistance and weathering characteristics.
- Next, granules are applied to the top surface of coating. Granules are ceramically coloured crushed rock;
the granules give the shingle its colour, but more importantly protect the coating from ultraviolet light.
4. Anti-block surfacing is then applied to the back of the sheet to prevent it from sticking to the machine and to other shingles when packaged.
A plastic tape is also applied to the back of the sheet to prevent the sealing strips from sticking to the next shingle in the package.
5. The granules are then pressed into the topcoating.
6. Once the sheet is cooled, sealing strips are applied. The sealing strips allow one shingle to bond to the overlying shingle on a roof and thus prevent wind uplift.
7. The roofing sheet is then measured and cut into shingles.
8. The shingles are wrapped into bundles and stored in the warehouse until they are ready to be shipped to the appropriate location.

The lifespan of your shingle roof is nearing its end?
It is probably time for an important, big decision on what to do next. The decision must be made whether to remove the old shingles or apply new shingles directly over the existing layer.
Applying new shingles directly over the existing layer is called reroofing, which is the process of recovering or replacing an existing roof covering.
