MISSING GRANULES
......................................................
CAUSES
 |
Normally
a
certain
number
of
granules
will be
loose,
especially
after
application.
These
granules
are
called
"riders"
and are
a normal
result
of the
manufacturing
process.
Granule
loss
does not
affect
the
service
life of
the
shingles
unless
granules
can be
seen
missing
on the
surface
of the
shingles,
thus
exposing
the
asphalt
or
Fiberglas®
mat. |
RECOMMENDATIONS
|
|
On aging
shingles,
missing
granules
indicate
a need
for
replacement. |
