A quality roofing system comprises parts that perform great individually but even greater collectively. You may only see the shingles from the ground, but the components working hard behind the scenes are just as important.
Speaking of roofing systems, the Integrity Roof System® by CertainTeed is one of the best in the business. Being the region’s authority in residential and commercial roofing, let Howard Roofing and Home Improvements shed further light on its key elements:
Starter Shingles
The first component to be laid down on a naked roof deck, starter shingles play vital waterproofing roles. Installed at your home’s eaves and rake edges, they prevent water from leaking to the underlying decking. Plus, they prevent blow-offs because they help keep field shingles in place with a strong adhesive.
CertainTeed’s starter strips are designed to work specifically with the brand’s different residential roofing shingles to ensure maximum performance.
WinterGuard®
Made of asphalt polymers, this underlayment safeguards your roof deck’s most vulnerable areas against water penetration. Elastic and sticky, WinterGuard seals around the nails driven through it, preventing leaks.
Roofers’ Select® or DiamondDeck®
After the application of WinterGuard, a high-performance protective barrier is then installed to cover the entire roof. The Integrity Roof System uses either the Roofers’ Select or the DiamondDeck for its secondary layer of defense against the elements after the shingles. The former is made from fiberglass to deliver exceptional wrinkling and tear-out resistance, while the latter provides a synthetic shield against the weather.
CertainTeed Shingles
CertainTeed shingles come in an array of styles and colors backed by a stellar warranty. As tough as they’re stunning, any choice in CertainTeed’s roofing selection is good enough to lend your home’s impressive curb appeal and remarkable weatherability.
CertainTeed Ridge Vents
These premium vents are the secret behind the Integrity Roof System’s long life. They regulate the airflow in the attic, allowing heat to escape and expelling moisture.
Hip and Ridge Accessories
These important hip and ridge accessories don’t give your roof the finish touch it deserves, but also protect your vents against the rigors of nature.
