This top-of-the-line shingle is composed of a resilient, inorganic glass base that is coated and permeated with additional weather-resistant asphalt. Each shingle has release tape and mineral powder applied to the underside, thus preventing any sticking in the bundle. As a three-tab, heavyweight shingle, it provides the assurance of long lasting performance and is surfaced with ceramic colored granules, which protect the asphalt from ultraviolet radiation. Special algae-inhibiting granules have been added to provide long-lasting algae resistance.
