Which Is Better, Asphalt Shingle Or Resin Shingle?

Dec 20, 2021

Asphalt shingles are made of colored sand, fiberglass felt, and asphalt through a series of high-tech processes. They are lightweight, light, tough, heat-preserving, and heat-insulating. The colors and shapes are diversified and can meet various architectural styles. For a while, some customers will ask: Which is better, asphalt shingle or resin shingle? Let me explain to you.

1. Asphalt shingle roof waterproof and fit degree is higher than resin shingle

Resin shingles are rigid in appearance after being synthesized, but soft in the bones; asphalt shingles are soft in appearance, but hard in the bones. This is the essential difference between asphalt shingles and resin shingles. Although the fiberglass felt and asphalt in the asphalt shingles can be melted, the melting point needs to be as high as several thousand degrees Celsius. Our normal roof cannot reach this degree of Celsius. Asphalt shingles carry the strong weather resistance of the colored sand layer, especially in the waterproof and fit of the roof, which is currently unattainable on other tiles.

2. The protective color of asphalt shingles is higher than that of resin shingles

Resin tile is a product of ternary polymer. Continuous corrosion under natural conditions will make the bright color of resin tile fade slowly. The colored sand layer of Ornex asphalt shingles adopts 1200 degrees Celsius high-temperature porcelain glazing technology, which can resist the erosion of natural conditions for a long time. Because the colored sand is glazed, rainwater cannot penetrate into the inner layer, and rainwater falls on the surface layer. After the second rain washed away, it appears brighter.

In summary, asphalt shingles are better than resin shingles in terms of waterproof, adhesion and protective color. Although bituminous shingles are currently the most popular tiles on the market, there are many manufacturers of bituminous shingles and their products are also uneven. When buying bituminous shingles, you must identify quality problems.
