Are asphalt shingles waterproof

Mar 22, 2024

Asphalt shingles are commonly used on roofs and are an excellent choice for homeowners because they are affordable, durable, and easy to install. One of the biggest concerns homeowners have when choosing roofing materials is whether they are waterproof, and the answer to that question is a resounding YES!

Asphalt shingles are inherently waterproof because they are made of a tar-like substance that prevents water from penetrating the asphalt shingles. This tar-like substance, called asphalt, is applied to a fiberglass mat and then coated with ceramic particles designed to protect the shingles from the elements such as harsh UV rays, wind and rain.

Asphalt shingles are tested and certified to withstand various levels of weathering conditions, including heavy rainfall and snowfall. In fact, many manufacturers guarantee that their shingles will withstand high winds, hail, and other severe weather conditions.


In addition to being waterproof, asphalt shingles are also fire-resistant. They are made from fiberglass mats coated with asphalt and then topped with ceramic particles to create a fire barrier.
