Installing Architectural Shingles Video

Ken Langevin from Owens Corning tells Bob about the architectural shingles that have been selected to replace the old roofing material. The shingles are called architectural because they have a three-dimensional look, and they have a 40-year warranty because of the extra build-up of asphalt and mineral granules. Contractors find the shingles are easy to install. The ridge vent comes in a roll. It's rolled out on the ridge and attached with a nail gun. It has a wind driven baffle so any rain that does get in will just sit, and it's covered with the hip and ridge shingle to give it that architectural, three-dimensional look. They also installed an ice and water barrier on the ridge and eaves so that any ice build-up in the gutters won't be able to push up underneath the new shingles.
