REPLACING LOST OILS
After completing a series of vigorous lab tests the Greener Shingles solution has demonstrated that it can help reduce the effects of aging after being applied to asphalt shingles.
This environmentally safe product improves shingle flexibility which helps the expansion and contracting that happens to shingle throughout the day. Greener Shingles uses a bio-based soybean oil solution.
Greener Shingles Rejuvenator has been lab tested and field proven to decrease the affect of hail damage, makes asphalt shingles 40% more flame resistant, and improves granular adhesion by 86%
Why rejuvenate your shingles?
Increases adhesion of the protective top granule coating
Reduces hail impact damage and subsequent granule loss
Restores permeability closer to new shingles
Greener Shingles is a bio-based, environmentally friendly soy product, lab tested to replace essential oils in asphalt shingles and make them last longer
BACKGROUND
Soy bean oil-based rejuvenators have been used to rejuvenate asphalt parking lots and roadways for the past fifteen years, making it the number one asphalt rejuvenator in the USA. Ore Roof Savers has adapted that same rejuvenator to extend the life span of asphalt shingles.
Ore Roof Savers is a powerful, scientifically formulated treatment derived from soybean oil. This plant-based oil quickly penetrates deep into brittle asphalt roofing shingles. The powerful all-natural formulation quickly restores your roof’s flexibility and further protection, while also reducing the loss of the shingle’s protective top granule coating.
Asphalt roofs usually start showing some signs of aging after five to ten years depending on region and environmental conditions. The shingle’s granular coating starts washing into the gutters as the essential oils dry up, losing the ability to hold the granular in place. Using Greener Shingles Canada’s asphalt shingle rejuvenator at this time, will preserve and extend the shingles lifespan by a minimum of 5 years, per treatment.
FAQ
Q: What temperatures are required to put this on my roof?
A: Typically we suggest the temperature be at least 4 to 5 degrees Celsius above freezing and rising with no rain in the forecast for 45 minutes.
Q: How much does it cost?
A: Typically, shingle rejuvenation costs 15 – 20% of the cost of replacement. The average cost of roof replacement in 2023 was $10,000 compared to only $1,500 to rejuvenate.
Q: Does Greener Shingles change the colour of the shingles?
A: No, the colour of the shingles will darken, similar to what it was like when new, but the colour will not change from red to black. Within a couple of years, the shingles will start to lighten up as the surface oils begin to oxidize off.
Q: Does this help with moss and algae growing on my roof?
A: We suggest cleaning the roof first, then rejuvenating your shingles with Greener Shingles. Any moss or algae left will be smothered and killed. Check out the before and after pictures in the gallery.
Q: Is Greener Shingles safe?
A: Greener Shingles is made with 90% bio-based natural food-grade oils. It is safe in small quantities, easily washed off with water. However, like water in a flood, it’s not 100% safe, but is safe around pets, plants and people.
Q: What does the warranty cover?
A: Our five-year prorated warranty covers the fact that Greener Shingles will extend the life of the shingle five years past the expected life of the shingle in the environment they are in. Some owners want to stop the aging process on older shingles. Depending on how old they are, we may not be able to warranty a shingle that is starting to show signs of extreme aging, like when the shingles are starting to curl up. The warranty is transferable to the next homeowner.
Q: How do I know if my shingles need rejuvenation?
A: Typically shingles that are ten years old start to show signs of aging, granular loss and could use rejuvenation before they start to curl up and become brittle.
