CertainTeed Launches New Designer Asphalt Roofing Shingle
VALLEY FORGE, Pa. — NorthGate™, the newest designer asphalt roofing shingle offering manufactured by CertainTeed, boasts an SBS-polymer modifier for enhanced weatherability and a rich mixture of surface granules for added aesthetic depth and dimension.
Currently available in the northwest region of the United States, NorthGate is designed to endure harsh, cold-weather elements affronting the roof. The new shingle’s SBS composition allows it to remain flexible at temperatures as low as 0 degrees Fahrenheit, making it easier to install in cold climates. Plus, the two-piece laminated fiberglass-based shingle meets the requirements of UL 2218 Class 4 for impact resistance — the highest rating possible.
