High Performance Technology Can Save Contractors Money

Atlas shingles with HP Technology help contractors save money by reducing the number of shingles and nails needed and making installation more efficient.

Sometimes bigger is better. That’s what Atlas Shingles with HP Technology deliver – bigger nailing area plus a bigger exposure and wind warranty. This can save time and money for contractors according to this recent post on Atlas’ Asphalt Life blog.

Bigger exposure means that on a standard 40-square job a contractor can expect to use 160 fewer shingles and 5,750 fewer nails according to Dirk Gowder, owner of Ryno Roof Systems in Atlanta, GA. “Since my guys are nailing fewer shingles, they get on and off the roof faster and more efficiently, then get on to the next job.”

Gowder says he thinks the bigger exposure also give a better look to the roof. “I’ve always felt the smaller exposure on other architectural shingles makes the roof look a bit busy when viewed from the street. The larger exposure with Atlas shingles featuring HP Technology gives the roof a grander appearance.”

The shingles feature the FASTAC® double sealant line that doubles as a quick seal and a visible 1¼-inch nailing area. The larger nailing area reduces the risk of improper installation and only requires the use of four nails, reducing the chance for mis-nailing.

The Atlas roofing shingles with HP technology feature a 130-mph wind warranty even with a four nail application.

Atlas offers a wide variety of roof shingles designed with HP Technology. Available in Pinnacle^® Pristine, StormMaster^® Shake, HP shingles are loaded with features contractors want and benefits homeowners need.
