Every builder, contractor and DIYer knows that choosing the right roofing materials can impact the success and longevity of their project. At Silvaris, we’re dedicated to providing essential roofing materials that meet your inventory needs and help your customers achieve their project goals efficiently and on (or under) budget.
The key difference between A Grade and B Grade asphalt roofing is that B Grade products are sold without a warranty. The cost of B Grade roll roofing can be a major advantage to a roofing installer as long as they are able to work around the defects that resulted in downgrading the product. B Grade defects include rolls being made too long or too short, under saturation or the product being too thick or too thin.
Retail roofing supply vendors are wise to carry some amount of B Grade commercial roofing products, as there are often surprise opportunities to capitalize on the cost savings. In addition to carrying roofing felt and shingles, we recommend stocking commercial roofing adhesive, base and cap materials, roll on roof sealant, and other roofing accessory products that could be used by their customers.
Our B Grade roofing materials are particularly beneficial for budget-sensitive projects. For example, Habitat for Humanity uses these materials to construct durable, reliable roofs without exceeding their budget. Despite minor imperfections, B Grade materials maintain their functionality, making them a smart, cost-effective choice for various applications.
Shingles
Shingles are among our most popular roofing products, thanks to their versatility and reliability. Available in various styles and colors, our B Grade shingles offer excellent protection against the elements and are easy to install. These shingles are perfect for residential roofing contractors looking to provide durable, attractive roofs while keeping costs manageable.
Synthetic Roofing Felt
For those in need of underlayment, our synthetic roofing felt is an excellent choice. This material is known for being lightweight, durable and providing superior resistance to moisture and tearing. It’s particularly useful in both new constructions and re-roofing projects. Synthetic underlayment boasts some advantages over traditional felt. It’s lightweight, strong and resists water more than traditional felt. Synthetic underlayment can handle extreme temperatures better and doesn’t wrinkle when wet or crack in cold weather, so it maintains its integrity and performance under a wide range of conditions
Asphalt-saturated Organic Roofing Felt
For a more traditional approach, our asphalt-saturated organic roofing felt is a reliable option. Organic felt underlayment has been the automatic choice for contractors for decades — and still is for many today. Available in 15- and 30-pound rolls, this material offers excellent waterproofing capabilities, making it ideal for a wide range of applications.
At Silvaris, we pride ourselves on offering materials that support the construction of durable, reliable roofs while also providing cost savings. Our products meet high standards of quality and are ideal for a wide range of roofing projects.
