Understanding Malarkey Roofing Products and Why We Choose Them
When it comes to protecting homes and businesses throughout Rapid City, Black Hawk, Box Elder, Rapid Valley, Hill City, Summerset, Custer, Hot Springs, Deadwood & Spearfish, SD, we at Black Hills Roofing have carefully selected our roofing materials based on decades of experience serving our community since 1957. Among our premium offerings, we are proud to carry Malarkey roofing products, a choice that reflects our commitment to both exceptional performance and environmental responsibility. These innovative shingles represent a significant advancement in roofing technology, incorporating rubberized asphalt construction that provides superior durability and weather resistance compared to traditional roofing materials.
Our decision to offer Malarkey products stems from their unique manufacturing process, which utilizes NEX rubberized asphalt technology. This specialized formulation includes recycled rubber from tires and plastics, creating shingles that are not only stronger but also contribute to reducing landfill waste. Each residential roof we install using Malarkey shingles diverts approximately five tires and 3,200 plastic bags from landfills, aligning perfectly with our values of community stewardship and environmental responsibility.
Technical Advantages That Protect Your Investment
The technical specifications of Malarkey shingles demonstrate why we confidently recommend them for properties throughout Black Hills Area. These shingles feature up to 50% more adhesive bonds than standard roofing materials, providing exceptional protection against delamination even in extreme weather conditions. The enhanced adhesive properties ensure that each shingle remains firmly attached to your roof deck, reducing the risk of wind damage and water infiltration that can lead to costly repairs.
Additionally, Malarkey shingles incorporate double the rain seals of conventional shingles, creating multiple barriers against wind-driven rain. This enhanced protection is particularly valuable in our region, where sudden weather changes and intense storms can test the integrity of any roofing system. The wider nailing area, up to twice the size of standard shingles, allows our certified installation teams to achieve more accurate and secure fastening, ensuring proper installation that maximizes the longevity of your roof.
Performance Ratings That Exceed Industry Standards
We understand the importance of selecting materials that exceed industry benchmarks. Malarkey shingles deliver up to 35% greater tear strength than the ASTM D3462 industry standard, providing exceptional resistance to damage from high winds and severe weather events. This enhanced durability means fewer repairs and longer service life for your roofing investment.
The granule adhesion rate of Malarkey shingles surpasses industry standards by up to 65%, ensuring that the protective granule layer remains intact throughout the life of your roof. These granules serve multiple purposes beyond aesthetic appeal, including UV protection and heat reflection. Many Malarkey products feature 3M smog-reducing granules that actively help clean the air by breaking down emission pollutants, equivalent to planting approximately two trees for every residential roof installation.
Impact Resistance and Long-Term Value
Living in areas prone to hailstorms requires roofing materials that can withstand impact damage. Malarkey shingles achieve up to Class 4 impact ratings, the highest classification available for residential roofing products. This superior impact resistance translates directly into tangible benefits for property owners, including potential insurance premium reductions and decreased likelihood of storm-related damage claims.
- Enhanced Protection: Class 4 impact rating provides maximum hail resistance
- Insurance Benefits: Many insurance companies offer premium discounts for impact-resistant roofing
- Reduced Maintenance: Superior durability means fewer repairs over the roof’s lifetime
