Premium Roofing Choices

Premium Asphalt Shingles Nothing Endures Outdoors Like Asphalt Shingles. When a roof can account for as much as 40% of the average home's exterior, many factors weigh into the choice of materials. Some surfaces are more beautiful than others. Some offer greater resilience or endurance. Some are more affordable. But the one roofing surface which offers all those attributes in balance is the asphalt shingle. Now accounting for about 80% of the residential roof surfacing in the United States, asphalt shingles are measured against a variety of standards that evaluate fire and wind resistance, tear strength, and other key performance indicators. For fiber glass shingles, ASTM D3462 is considered the most important. This comprehensive standard covers tear strength, nail-pull resistance and pliability, among other shingle characteristics. Over 20 CertainTeed fiber glass shingles are independently certified by Underwriters Laboratories to meet the tough ASTM D3462 standard. Carolina Vinyl Windows is proud to offer high quality roofing choices from manufacturers such as GAF-Elk and Atlas. Although we recommend these brands from years of installation experience, we can also provide roofing choices from a wide variety of manufacturers. Just let us know how we can beautify and add resale value to the roof on your home.

For centuries, it’s been the roofing material of choice for the world’s greatest buildings. In fact, some slate roofs have lasted for literally hundreds of years, enduring all of the ravages that Mother Nature could throw at them. And, oh yes, old-fashioned slate roofs are heavy— and expensive— putting them out of the reach of most property owners; until now. The TruSlate™ system from GAF-Elk can make your dream of owning a genuine slate roof a reality. The TruSlate™ system features: • Real hand-split quarried slate (not a synthetic imitation) • An ingenious installation system (that typically eliminates the expensive structural modifications that old-fashioned slate requires) • An affordable price (often comparable to the cost of the cheap imitations) On an old-fashioned slate roof, half of each slate is never seen, because it’s tucked under the piece above it. We’ve replaced this wasted slate with a high-tech waterproofing material. With this ingenious design, the TruSlate™ system can be installed on almost any roof. It goes without saying, before you select your next roofing system, you owe it to yourself to consider the advantages of a TruSlate™ roof. In fact, why even consider a plastic imitation, when you can get the real thing for about the same price—and for only a fraction of the cost of old-fashioned slate? *Camelot® Lifetime Designer Shingles* - Combining Uncompromising performance with timeless beauty, Camelot® shingles may be the finest designer shingle ever made.
