CiPer Roofing Shingles Asphalt Black Architectural 8pcs 39.4×13.4in

Description

Product Overview

CiPer’s black architectural asphalt shingles are engineered to provide a high‑performance roofing solution for residential homes, sheds, and small commercial structures. Crafted from premium asphalt and reinforced with a fiberglass mat, each shingle delivers exceptional durability, UV resistance, and impact strength. The black architectural finish offers a sleek, modern aesthetic that complements a wide range of exterior color palettes while delivering the classic look of traditional roofing materials.

Each package contains eight rectangular tiles measuring 39.4 in by 13.4 in, a size that balances coverage efficiency with ease of handling. The shingles meet ASTM D 3462‑2005 standards, ensuring compliance with industry‑recognized performance criteria for wind uplift resistance, fire rating, and water shedding capability. With a total weight of approximately 20.1 pounds per pack, the product is lightweight enough for straightforward installation yet robust enough to withstand harsh weather conditions.

The premium finish includes a self‑adhesive sealant strip along the shingle’s upper edge, which activates when exposed to moisture, creating a watertight seal that prevents infiltration at the roof’s most vulnerable points. The design also incorporates a staggered, dimensional profile that adds depth and visual interest, mimicking the appearance of multiple shingle layers for a richer, more textured roof surface.

Technical specifications include a rectangular shape, a premium finish, and a weight of 20.1 pounds per eight‑piece pack. The product dimensions of 39 × 13 × 1 in provide a low‑profile thickness that reduces the overall roof height while maintaining structural integrity. The shingles are compatible with standard roofing underlayment, nails, and flashing components, making them a versatile choice for both new construction and retrofit projects.

Beyond basic performance, the shingles are designed with a reflective coating that helps mitigate heat buildup on the roof surface, contributing to lower interior cooling costs in hot climates. The coating also resists algae growth, preserving the roof’s appearance over time. All components are manufactured in a controlled environment to minimize contaminants and ensure consistent quality across every batch.

CiPer’s commitment to sustainability is reflected in the sourcing of raw materials. The asphalt binder is derived from responsibly managed petroleum by‑products, and the fiberglass reinforcement is produced using recycled glass fibers where possible. Packaging is fully recyclable, and the product’s long service life reduces the frequency of replacement, further decreasing environmental impact.

Usage

These shingles are ideal for a variety of roofing applications, including new roof installations, roof repairs, and replacement projects on single‑family homes, duplexes, and detached sheds. Their versatile size and weight allow installers to work efficiently on steep‑slope roofs as well as low‑pitch structures, providing reliable protection against rain, wind, and snow.

Homeowners seeking a quick upgrade can benefit from the shingles’ easy‑to‑install design. The self‑adhesive sealant eliminates the need for additional waterproofing membranes in most scenarios, reducing labor time and material costs. For DIY enthusiasts, the clear labeling of each shingle’s orientation and the consistent dimensions simplify layout planning and alignment, ensuring a professional‑grade finish without the need for specialized tools.

In addition to residential use, the product performs well in agricultural outbuildings, garden sheds, and small commercial units where a durable, low‑maintenance roofing surface is required. The black architectural color helps conceal minor debris and dust accumulation, extending the visual lifespan of the roof between maintenance cycles.

When installing in regions with high wind speeds, the shingles’ interlocking design and sealant strip work together to create a cohesive barrier that resists uplift forces. For areas prone to heavy snowfall, the smooth surface encourages snow to slide off, reducing the load on the roof structure and minimizing the risk of ice dam formation.

Maintenance of the roof is straightforward: periodic visual inspections to clear debris, check for loose nails, and verify the integrity of the sealant strip are sufficient to keep the system performing at its peak. The shingles are compatible with most standard roofing underlayment materials, allowing for flexible system design based on specific project requirements.

FAQ

Can these shingles be installed over an existing roof?

Yes, the shingles can be applied over a properly prepared existing roof surface, provided the underlying material is in good condition and compatible with standard roofing underlayment. It is recommended to inspect the old roof for any damage, replace any compromised decking, and install a suitable underlayment before laying the new shingles.

What is the recommended nail spacing for installation?

For optimal performance, use corrosion‑resistant roofing nails placed at a spacing of 1 inch from the shingle’s edges and 4 inches along the shingle’s length. This pattern ensures secure attachment while allowing the sealant strip to function effectively during rain exposure.

How does the warranty cover the product?

CiPer offers a limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects and premature material failure for a period of 20 years from the date of installation. The warranty does not cover damage caused by improper installation, extreme weather events beyond normal exposure, or modifications made to the roof system.

Are these shingles suitable for high‑wind regions?

Yes, the shingles are engineered to meet ASTM wind uplift requirements, making them suitable for areas with wind speeds up to 130 mph when installed according to the manufacturer’s guidelines and local building codes.

Can the shingles be painted to match a different color scheme?

While the black architectural finish is designed to retain its color and performance over time, painting is not recommended as it may affect the shingle’s ability to shed water and could void the warranty. If a different color is desired, consider selecting a shingle product specifically manufactured in that hue.
