If you need to replace your commercial or industrial roof and are looking for the right materials, you might want to consider asphalt roll roofing. Highly recommended by contractors, rolled roofing is a dependable option for many different types of buildings and structures. Learn more about this material and why you should choose it for your roof installation below.

What Is Asphalt Roll Roofing?

Asphalt roll roofing is a type of mineral-surfaced roofing that's often used as a supplement in roof installations to provide extra protection. It comes in rolls that are approximately 36 inches wide and 36 feet long, which usually translates to about 100 square feet of material. This oil-based asphalt is extremely thin and designed to be installed over large areas of roofing. 

Where Should You Use It?

Roofing contractors usually caution against using asphalt roll products on homes, since they’re not as durable as composite shingles. However, rolled roofing is an excellent choice for unoccupied buildings, such as sheds, garages, barns, and workshops, and it can also supplement the shingles on a house. It attaches best to low-pitched roofs with a maximum one-inch decline per vertical foot. 

What Are Its Benefits?

Asphalt roll roofing is one of the most inexpensive options on the market. The material is also lightweight and easy to transport, making roof installations quick and simple. Additionally, contractors can typically layer asphalt rolls over your existing roofing materials and custom cut them to fit eaves and rakes.
