Rubberized asphalt instead of standard asphalt
Malarkey shingles are built on NEX polymer-modified (rubberized) asphalt. In homeowner terms: the shingle stays more flexible instead of getting brittle, and Malarkey publishes greater tear strength and granule adhesion than the ASTM D3462 industry standard. Granule loss, shingle deterioration, cracking, leaks and other signs of aging are some of the common problems we look for when evaluating an older roof.
