Enhanced Installation Features
At GreenIdahoRoofing.com, we believe that a great roof starts with thoughtful design and precise installation. That’s why we rely on Malarkey shingles, which incorporate industry-leading features to ensure every roof performs optimally and stands the test of time. From innovative technology to design elements that streamline the installation process, Malarkey makes it easier to achieve a flawless and durable roof.
-
Precision and Performance
One of Malarkey’s most innovative features is The Zone® Nailing Area, which offers a 1 ¾" nailing surface—40% larger than the industry standard.This expanded nailing area simplifies the installation process, ensuring every nail is placed securely within the optimal zone for maximum performance.
A larger nailing zone reduces the likelihood of installation errors, providing better protection against wind uplift and water infiltration
Enhanced Wind Resistance
Proper nail placement is critical for achieving the full wind resistance rating of a shingle. With The Zone® Nailing Area, Malarkey shingles can be installed to withstand winds up to 130 mph, providing unmatched security for your home during severe weather.This feature ensures that your roof remains intact and secure, even under the most challenging conditions.
-
Secure Sealant Strips
Malarkey shingles are equipped with high-performance adhesive strips that activate during installation to form a watertight bond.These strips create a tight seal between shingles, protecting against water intrusion and leaks.
The adhesive also locks shingles together, providing additional wind resistance and preventing shingle blow-off during storms.
Quick Activation for Fast Installation
The adhesive strips are engineered to activate quickly, even in cooler temperatures. This allows for efficient installation in a wider range of weather conditions, ensuring that every shingle is properly sealed regardless of the season.
-
Smoother Installation
Malarkey shingles feature a tapered leading edge, which makes them easier to handle and align during installation.This design element helps reduce the time and effort required to achieve a straight and uniform roofline, resulting in a cleaner, more professional appearance.
A properly aligned roof is not only aesthetically pleasing but also critical for long-term performance, as misaligned shingles can lead to vulnerabilities and water infiltration.
-
Lightweight and Flexible
Thanks to the NEX® Polymer Modified Asphalt used in Malarkey shingles, they are both lightweight and flexible, making them easier to handle during installation.This flexibility minimizes the risk of cracking or breaking during handling, especially in colder weather.
Lightweight shingles reduce strain on installers, allowing for quicker and more precise placement.
Clear Alignment Marks
Malarkey shingles include alignment marks that guide installers in achieving consistent placement and overlap.These marks are especially helpful for ensuring proper spacing and alignment on complex roof designs or steep pitches.
-
Enhanced Wind Resistance from the Start
Malarkey starter shingles are designed to complement the main shingles, providing a seamless transition and enhanced wind resistance at the roof’s edges.Starter shingles are installed along both eaves (flat edges) and rakes (pitched edges), ensuring every roof is anchored against wind uplift.
Ridge Cap Shingles for Maximum Coverage
Malarkey offers specially designed ridge cap shingles to complete the roofline with both style and functionality.Ridge caps are critical for protecting the roof’s most vulnerable areas—its peaks and ridges—from UV damage and weather exposure.
With Malarkey’s high-profile ridge caps, roofs gain added protection and a bold, dimensional appearance.
-
Seamless Integration with Underlayment
Malarkey shingles are designed to work seamlessly with Ice & Water Shield underlayment, a key component in preventing water infiltration in critical areas like valleys, eaves, and around chimneys.This compatibility ensures that every roof installed with Malarkey products provides maximum protection against leaks caused by ice dams or heavy rainfall.
Two Layers of Protection
At GreenIdahoRoofing.com, we go above and beyond by installing a minimum of two layers of Ice & Water Shield on every eave, ensuring your roof is fortified against even the harshest conditions. Malarkey’s design features ensure these layers integrate smoothly with the shingles for a watertight seal. -
Reducing Installation Time
Every feature of Malarkey shingles is designed with installers in mind, from the wide nailing zone to the pre-applied adhesive strips. These innovations streamline the installation process, saving time without compromising quality.A faster installation means less disruption to your daily life and a quicker path to enjoying the benefits of your new roof.
Minimizing Installation Errors
By providing clear alignment marks, larger nailing zones, and durable materials, Malarkey reduces the risk of common installation mistakes.This ensures that every roof installed by GreenIdahoRoofing.com not only looks great but also performs flawlessly for years to come.
