Roof Shingles Defined-DIY

At the Owens Corning factory, we learn what goes into making roof shingles. This video is part of Deconstruction show hosted by Matt Blashaw . SHOW DESCRIPTION :Deconstruction explores the science behind home improvement. By conducting wild experiments, making lots of noise and engaging in some serious pyrotechnics, host and handyman Matt Blashaw dissects the who, what, where, how and why of the do-it-yourself world. How does pressurized treated wood get pressure-treated? How strong is tempered glass and how is it made? Is home insulation really fire retardant? With field trips to research labs and testing facilities and by doing some fun testing of his own, Deconstruction follows a unique mission: to understand what you're building, sometimes you need to take it apart.

I quit using Owens-Corning shingles when I was a roofer for two reasons. 1- Color matching was horrible. I made sure to get shingles with the same batch numbers to no avail. Roof looked like shite. 2- The adhesive used to seal the shingles was way too soft. On a hot day it would stick instantly to the roof if you dropped a shingle face-down. Got tired of that crap. I did four houses on the same street -- all white roofs. Did the first one with OC, last three with GAF. No comparison.

The so called "roof leak" at the end of the video was condensation. Not a roof leak
