NEX® Polymer Modified (Rubberized) Asphalt Technology
At the heart of Malarkey shingles is their proprietary NEX® Polymer Modified Asphalt, an advanced formulation that integrates high-grade asphalt with synthetic rubber and plastic polymers. This technology gives Malarkey shingles their signature flexibility and resilience.

• Unlike traditional shingles that can crack or break under extreme temperatures, NEX® shingles remain pliable in freezing cold and rigid enough to endure intense heat.

• This flexibility also means improved impact resistance. Whether it’s hail, flying debris, or the occasional rogue baseball, Malarkey shingles are less likely to sustain damage compared to traditional asphalt shingles.

Class 4 Impact Resistance
Malarkey shingles are designed to handle whatever nature throws their way. Many of their products, including the popular Vista® series, have achieved a Class 4 impact rating—the highest possible.

• This means they can withstand simulated hail impacts without cracking, a critical feature for homes in areas prone to hailstorms.

• For homeowners, Class 4 shingles can also lead to reduced insurance premiums, making them a cost-effective and high-performing choice.

Enhanced Wind Warranty
Malarkey shingles are rated for wind resistance up to 130 mph when installed with enhanced practices. This level of protection ensures your roof remains intact during severe storms, safeguarding your home from water infiltration and structural damage.

• This wind resistance is achieved through precise nailing guidelines, advanced adhesive seals, and reinforced shingle edges.

• The result? A roof that stays firmly in place, even in hurricane-force winds.

Wide Nailing Zone
Malarkey’s patented The Zone® Nailing Area offers a 1 ¾" nailing surface—40% larger than the industry standard. This feature improves installation accuracy and helps ensure that every shingle is securely fastened, further enhancing wind resistance.

• A larger nailing zone also reduces the risk of shingle blow-off, ensuring your roof remains sealed and watertight even in severe conditions.

Granule Retention for Long-Term Protection
One of the primary functions of a shingle’s granules is to protect the asphalt layer from harmful UV rays. Malarkey’s advanced granule adhesion ensures that their shingles maintain their protective granule layer far longer than competitors.

• This means reduced risk of premature aging, cracking, or curling caused by prolonged sun exposure.

• Superior granule retention also preserves the aesthetic appearance of your roof, keeping it looking fresh and vibrant for years to come.

Temperature Flexibility
Traditional shingles can become brittle in the cold, leading to cracking and reduced performance. Malarkey’s NEX® shingles are specifically engineered to remain flexible at low temperatures, ensuring easy installation even in colder climates.

• This flexibility minimizes damage during handling and installation, creating a roof that is durable from the moment it’s installed.

Secure Sealing for Leak Prevention
Every Malarkey shingle is equipped with advanced adhesive seals that bond shingles together for a tight, weatherproof fit.

• These seals create a water-resistant barrier that prevents leaks and ensures long-term performance, even during heavy rainfall.

• This adhesive technology also contributes to the shingles’ exceptional wind resistance by locking each shingle securely in place.

Durable Materials, Built to Last
Malarkey’s commitment to durability starts with their materials. By using polymer-modified asphalt, recycled rubber, and high-strength reinforcements, they’ve created a product that’s as sustainable as it is long-lasting.

• This means fewer roof replacements over time, reducing waste and saving you money in the long run.

Minimal Maintenance Requirements
Because of their superior durability, Malarkey shingles require less maintenance than many traditional options. This means fewer repairs, less hassle, and greater peace of mind for homeowners.

• With Malarkey shingles, you’re investing in a roof that’s built to handle the unexpected, so you don’t have to.

Extreme Weather Conditions in Idaho
Homes in Idaho face a wide range of weather conditions, from freezing winters to hot, dry summers. Malarkey shingles are specifically designed to perform in these environments.

• Their flexibility in cold weather and resistance to UV rays in hot conditions make them the perfect choice for Idaho homeowners.

• Additionally, the enhanced wind and impact resistance ensure your roof is ready to handle strong wind gusts and potential hailstorms common in the region.

Long-Term Investment
A roof is one of the most significant investments a homeowner can make. By choosing Malarkey shingles, you’re not only protecting your home but also ensuring that your investment lasts for decades.

• The combination of advanced materials, thoughtful design, and innovative technology results in a roof that’s as reliable as it is beautiful.
