1. WEATHER - TITE : NEW
3-TAB SHINGLE TECHNOLOGY |
Emco
Building Products Corp. is proud to announce the arrival of
Weather-Tite, the new benchmark in 3-tab shingle technology.
Having experienced extreme weather conditions over the last
few years, consumers have challenged the roofing industry to
make asphalt shingles with high wind resistance.
Weather-Tite shingles are your first choice for superior
protection from Mother Nature’s worst weather. They feature
a patent-pending design using theHurricane Band,
a second strategically-positioned adhesive strip. This
enables the shingles to hold firm in heavy winds up to 175
km/h (110 mph) when the shingles are installed as per high
wind application instructions.
Weather-Tite GL, the fiberglass version of the shingle, has
a wind resistance of 145 km/h (90 mph) when installed as per
high wind application instructions. Weather-Tite and
Weather-Tite GL conform to wind resistance standards ASTM
D3161-95,Type I and UL 997. The shingles were tested as
prescribed by Dade County #PA 100.
Along with superior wind resistance, Weather-Tite GL has a
Class A fire rating.
Weather-Tite (organic) and Weather-Tite GL (fiberglass) come
with a 25 year warranty to ensure complete peace of mind for
you. |

La Casa Batlló (1905)
The pictures below shows the roof of the
famous Casa Batlló in Barcelona, Spain It is the work of
renowned Spanish architect Antonio Gaudi. The roof is
made from a series of blue and pink ceramic tiles. The
shape of the tiles gives the roof a unique appearance
which reminds one of a dragon’s back. To complete this one of
a kind structure, Gaudi had to ignore several
municipal laws. |
