Home » 5 Reasons to Consider Performance Shingles for Your Roof

With years of combined experience and expertise, our team at Rusco is knowledgeable about performance shingles and the impact they have on the aesthetic appeal and protection of your home’s roof. Our shingles are durable and cost-effective, and here are five compelling reasons to consider our performance varieties for your roof.

Superior Weather Resistance

Designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, performance shingles are tough and rugged, protective of your home’s roof for years. Each shingle is engineered and tested to withstand 130mph high winds, as well as impacts from tornado debris and hail. They are also equipped with water-shedding capabilities, allowing rain to bead off during heavy rainfalls, and preventing leaks and water damage. Direct sunshine? No problem with UV-resistant coating to protect your roof from the wear and tear of damaging UV rays.

Enhanced Durability and Lifespan

Performance shingles are built to last for years, maybe even decades, with the proper care. These shingles are made from high-quality, often-recycled materials, such as asphalt blends and fiberglass reinforcements, resistant to wear and tear. The manufacturing techniques toughen each shingle, testing its strength to make it less prone to defects. Additionally, our shingles are designed to be thicker than average, providing extra roofing protection.

Performance shingles are low maintenance, requiring the occasional inspection and brush-off to clear debris and check for damages. Lower maintenance combined with durability means fewer headaches and abundant cost savings, adding value to your home if you ever decide to resell.

Energy Efficiency to Reduce Cooling Costs

Rusco’s performance shingles are made with reflective granules, reducing heat absorption by reflecting solar heat into nature. This process ensures a stable indoor temperature, reducing the load on your HVAC system, especially when summers swelter. Additionally, the additional layer of insulation in our performance shingles keeps your home warm in colder weather, lowering heating bills. Ergo, your home is consistently, and comfortably thermal regulated throughout the year.

Aesthetic Appeal and Design Options

Performance shingles are available in various styles and textures to complement your home’s existing aesthetic appeal. This comes in handy if you ever put your house on the market because designer shingles amp up the value of a property in the same way vinyl windows or sliding glass doors would. Ergo, you can get more bang for your buck from potential buyers if you decide to sell after the installation of performance shingles.

Balancing Initial Costs with Long-Term Savings

Initially, performance shingles from Rusco can be expensive, but that’s getting your higher costs out of the way. The initial investment covers material and manufacturing expenses, but the longevity and eco-friendliness of performance shingles will save you financial burdens in the long run.
