Size doesn't always matter, but when it comes to asphalt shingles, bigger really is better. A roof can compromise up to 50% of a home's exterior, so a larger shingle exposure is sure to add curb appeal to any home. Along with enhanced aesthetics, a larger shingle size allows for an easier and faster product installation.
Atlas® Roofing keeps this in mind when designing new products and now offers HP42® Technology on three of its architectural shingle lines: StormMaster® Shake, Pinnacle® Impact, Pinnacle® Sun and Pinnacle® Pristine. Architectural shingles already make the roof look more textured, are larger than a standard shingle, and come in an amazing variety of shapes. Adding HP42® Technology means five uniquely distinguished features are built into the shingle, directly benefiting both homeowners and roofing contractors.
The number one feature is the larger shingle size. Oversized shingle dimensions require fewer laps—which translates into a faster installation and less time contractors need to spend on the roof. The greater 6" exposure with StormMaster® Shake and Pinnacle® Pristine also allows for a simpler, even measurement for contractors.
Homeowners and buyers will also appreciate the curb appeal larger shingles provide. The dramatically larger exposure beats out traditional roofing materials, including ordinary 3-tab shingles, slate, tile and wood shake. The larger exposure is designed to complement the roof, with its attractive appearance adding just the right amount of depth and texture to the home. The larger format gives the roof a distinct designer look with the versatility to match homes of any style.
HP42® Technology also includes FASTAC® double sealant lines, a larger Sweet Spot™ nailing area, and 130 mph wind speed coverage to provide an all-around high-performance shingle.
