Asphalt shingles usually last longer in cooler climates than warmer
ones. Thermal shock is one thing that is damaging to shingles
(thermal shock is what roofing materials experience when the
ambient temperature changes dramatically within a very short
period of time). Another factor affecting asphalt shingle roofs is attic
ventilation. Proper roof ventilation has been known to extend the
service life of a roof. Shingles should not be applied during cold
weather. Each shingle must seal to the layer below it to form a
monolithic structure. Sun and heat to soften the underlying exposed
asphalt is a requirement during the initial phase of a new roof.
Staple guns should not be used on shingles because they tear into
the substrate too easily. Traditional roofing nails remain the best
method of applying shingles.
