2018 Original Test
In 2018, a series of rigorous tests were conducted to evaluate the performance and durability of our roofing solutions. These tests were designed to simulate real-world conditions and ensure that our products meet the highest standards of quality and reliability.
The results of these tests have been instrumental in refining our products and processes, allowing us to deliver superior roofing solutions to our customers. We continue to build on this foundation of excellence, driven by our commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction.
Flexibility Test
Much Improved flexibility
Flexibility, 23° was improved
(Failure to pass).
When installed new roof shingles have oil in the asphalt
that allows for daily expansion and contracting, which is
critical for performance and longevity.
Hail Impact Test
Hail Impact Resistance
Hail Impact was slightly improved after treatment. The improvement, 6.6%, was minimized by the type of shingle evaluated – organic felt based. The data suggests hail impact would have a greater improvement on FG mat-based shingles.
Fire Resistance Test
Inproved Fire Resistance
Fire Resistance ‘UL Speed of Flame:’ The treated shingles exhibited a flame spread of 86 in 2 vs. the untreated shingles exhibiting a 144 in2 spread. Greener Shingles rejuvenator proved 40% better flame resistance vs untreated shingles, this was unexpected.
Cedar Shingles Test
Additional Testing
We experimented on cedar shake shingles to test the effectiveness on a non-asphalt based shingle. After 3 weeks the moss and algae was smothered and washed off by rain and the color changed closer to what they where 44 years earlier when installed. We don’t promote rejuvenating cedar shake, but this experiment showed positive results. The Greener Shingles team is continually researching and developing to make our top selling product even better.
