Roof asphalt shingles can get damaged – that’s a fact. They get dented by hailstones, cracked by wind-blown debris and heavy foot traffic, blown off by strong winds and pierced by unnecessary rooftop equipment. But what can cause asphalt shingles to curl?
- Old Age
The shingles are exposed to harsh weather conditions day in and day out, causing some amount of wear and tear. The roof material’s deterioration is usually represented by curling, which starts at the lower edge of the shingles and then extends at the two sides.
- Material Defects
Weather or environmental factors are not the only reason for shingle curling. There are also cases where the asphalts shingles (even if they’re still relatively new) are already curling at the edges, which may indicate defects during the manufacturing process.
- Poor Attic Ventilation
When excess heat and moisture get trapped in the attic, they’ll rise up and bake the asphalt shingles overhead, causing them to age prematurely. You’ll know because the material will start curling.
- Incorrect Roof Installation
Those who were unlucky enough to have worked with an inexperienced contractor may realize that the reason for shingle curling on their roof is actually poor workmanship.
How to Deal With Asphalt Shingle Curling
Unfortunately, repairing curled shingles is almost impossible to do, especially if the process has led to the material losing most of its protective mineral granules. At this point, the roofing system has been weakened enough that leaks and other issues are more likely to occur. The ideal solution would be to replace the old system with something newer and better from Crown Roofing LTD. We offer top-tier GAF asphalt shingle roofing systems that are designed for unrivaled weather protection and lasting performance.
