Breaking Down the Science: Fresh Roof™ Test Results and What They Mean for Your Shingles

April 30, 2024

Introduction:


When it comes to roof rejuvenation, not all products are created equal. That's why we're excited to share the groundbreaking test results from Fresh Roof™, our revolutionary roof rejuvenation treatment. In this blog, we'll dive into the nitty-gritty of the tests and what they mean for the longevity, durability, and overall performance of your shingles.


Flexural Modulus and Stiffness:


Fresh Roof™, composed primarily of emulsified sub-epoxidized soybean oil (SESO), proved its mettle by decreasing the flexural modulus of end-of-life shingles by 61% and stiffness by 85%. This means that treated shingles are more flexible and less prone to cracking, ensuring long-lasting performance and protection for your roof.


Granule Adhesion:


One of the most significant findings from the tests is Fresh Roof™'s dramatic improvement in shingle grit adhesion. Untreated shingles lost a significant portion of their mass in grit adhesion tests, while shingles treated with Fresh Roof™ showed minimal mass loss, indicating superior adhesion and durability.


Tear Strength and Pliability:


Fresh Roof™ not only enhances tear strength but also maintains pliability even in cold temperatures. This means that your roof remains resilient and flexible, even in the harshest weather conditions, reducing the risk of damage and extending its lifespan.


Hail Resistance:


Hail damage is a significant concern for homeowners, but Fresh Roof™'s superior design and performance make it stand out from the competition. While other treatments leave shingles vulnerable to hail damage due to granule loss, Fresh Roof™'s advanced formula minimizes this risk, providing added protection for your roof.


Fire Resistance:


Safety is paramount when it comes to roofing applications, and Fresh Roof™ delivers on all fronts. Independent testing revealed that Fresh Roof™ reduces the spread of fire by nearly 30%, significantly improving fire resistance compared to untreated shingles. This added layer of protection gives homeowners peace of mind knowing that their roofs are safe and secure.


Conclusion:


The test results speak for themselves - Fresh Roof™ is the ultimate solution for protecting and rejuvenating your shingles. With its superior performance in flexural modulus, grit adhesion, tear strength, pliability, hail resistance, and fire resistance, Fresh Roof™ sets the standard for roof rejuvenation treatments. Say goodbye to cracked, brittle shingles and hello to a roof that's built to last with Fresh Roof™. Contact us today to learn more and schedule your treatment. Your roof will thank you

How Fresh Roof Helps Reduce Roof Repair Costs During Winter Winter can be one of the toughest seasons for your roof. From heavy snow and ice to freezing temperatures and strong winds, the elements can take a toll on asphalt shingles. Without proper protection, minor issues can escalate into costly repairs that homeowners dread. Fortunately, Fresh Roof offers a proactive solution to help you avoid these headaches while extending the life of your roof. Common Winter Roofing Problems Before we dive into how Fresh Roof can help, let’s take a look at the typical issues your roof might face during the winter months: Leaks and Water Damage: Snow and ice buildup can lead to water seeping under shingles, causing leaks and even structural damage. Granule Loss: The abrasive action of ice and snow can strip granules from shingles, leaving them vulnerable to UV damage and wear. Cracking and Curling Shingles: Freezing and thawing cycles can make shingles brittle, causing them to crack or curl. Ice Dams: Improperly insulated roofs can develop ice dams, which block water drainage and lead to leaks. Each of these problems can turn into expensive repairs if not addressed early. How Fresh Roof Prevents Costly Repairs Fresh Roof’s innovative GreenSoy Technology is designed to protect and maintain your shingles, even in the harshest winter conditions. Here’s how it works: 1. Strengthens Shingles Against the Elements Fresh Roof replenishes the natural oils in asphalt shingles, restoring their flexibility and durability. This helps shingles resist cracking, curling, and other damage caused by freezing temperatures and ice buildup. 2. Locks in Granules Granules are your roof’s first line of defense against UV rays and wear. Fresh Roof’s Granule Lock Technology keeps granules firmly in place, preventing the accelerated wear that often occurs during winter storms. 3. Reduces Moisture Penetration By restoring the protective properties of your shingles, Fresh Roof creates a barrier that helps prevent water and moisture from seeping into your roof. This reduces the risk of leaks and water damage caused by melting snow and ice. 4. Extends Roof Lifespan With regular Fresh Roof treatments, your shingles stay in better condition for longer. This means fewer repairs, less stress, and more savings over the life of your roof. A Cost-Effective Alternative One of the most significant benefits of Fresh Roof is its affordability compared to roof repairs or replacements. A single Fresh Roof treatment can extend the life of your roof by 6 years or more, giving you peace of mind during winter and beyond. Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late  Winter is already here, but it’s not too late to give your roof the protection it needs. Fresh Roof is the perfect solution to safeguard your home and your wallet from the challenges of winter weather. Ready to protect your roof and avoid costly repairs? Contact us today to schedule your Fresh Roof treatment and enjoy the confidence of a stronger, more resilient roof all winter long.
