Polymer Modified Shingles

Asphalt Roofing Systems That Last a Lifetime

The Honest Abe Roofing Polymer Modified Shingle will give you the traditional asphalt-roof look you want while performing more like a metal roof. These special shingles are crafted extremely differently than traditional asphalt shingles. Asphalt is a substance that hardens as it cools, which is why it is used to construct the roads that we drive on. Although asphalt alone is hard, it’s also brittle—just look at the potholes you see! Our shingles are created with the same asphalt used in traditional shingles, but they are modified with a polymer called Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (S.B.S.). The rubberizing aspect of S.B.S. allows for greater flexibility; the shingles resist cracking even in extremely cold weather, allowing for year-round application. The S.B.S. in the Honest Abe Roofing Polymer Modified Shingles also allows the granules to more completely adhere to the shingle, which is one of the key components of protecting the shingle.

How are Polymer Shingles Different Than Traditional Materials

Polymer shingles are designed to be more resilient than mere asphalt shingles. Most are designed from an admixture of both asphalt and polymers like SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) that make them more resilient to weather conditions, more durable under stress, and more long-lasting over time.
