Roofing Industry Innovations: GAF’s Monaco Shingle

Posted on May 21, 2013 by Joel Beattie

GAF-Monaco-roofing-shinglesIntroducing Monaco Roofing Shingles

As a roofing contractor in Washington State I love it when great, new and bold products come out. I am always on the look out for the latest shingle design that can provide my customers with a unique product that can set their home apart in aesthetic appeal. Recently GAF rolled out their latest shingle line called Monaco. The Monaco shingle is is a premium designer shingle that mimics the genuine look of a concrete tile roof at a fraction of the price. The aspect of this product that impressed me is that even though the shingle is flat it really looks like it has a radius effect, very cool!

From Roofs To Roads Asphalt Shingle Recycling

Posted on May 14, 2013 by Joel Beattie

Asphalt Shingle Recycling, The Responsible Choice

Relieving Our Landfills Of Unnecessary Waste

Green Roofers Washington StateA challenge we face today as a generation of environmental watch dogs is monitoring what is going into our landfills. Regulations are tightening up and programs are being created to reduce the amount of toxic materials or recyclable waste that is dumped each year. This trend has impacted the construction industry in a huge way as it produces up to 1/3 of the waste in our landfills in the U.S. With an eye on the environment you should expect to see more and more recycling programs utilized and enforced in order to preserve our eco-system.

Environmental Impact Report

Green Roofing

At Chase Construction North West, Inc we have made a commitment to recycle our asphalt roofing shingles. Here are a couple of startling facts about how much asphalt roofing is in our U.S. landfills and the impact it has on our environment.

-11 million tons of asphalt roofing are dumped at U.S. landfills each year. 
-At $100 a ton in dump fees that equates to $2.2 trillion dollars in annual dumping costs.
-Asphalt shingles are estimated to take up to 300 years to decompose.
-Asphalt shingles are made of petroleum products which increases the risk of negative environmental impact.

The Metal Roofing Alliance states “If a years worth of tossed out shingles were loaded onto tractor-trailers, and then set bumper to bumper, they would stretch from New York to Los Angeles, back to New York, and then on to Chicago.”

 The Green Answer, From Roofs To Roads

Roofs To RoadsThere is a very simple solution to this mammoth problem. New technology now allows us to grind asphalt shingles and turn them into a substance  known as RAS (recycled asphalt shingles). In many places specifications are now allowing up to 5% of the asphalt for our roads to be RAS. Common products that are created from recycled roofing shingles are roofing cement, crack filler, cold patch, roof boards, pavement enhancer and more.
