THE
SBS STORY In
1986 Malarkey Roofing Products introduced a shingle which would dramatically
impact the roofing industry. The shingle was the Alaskan SBS “rubber”
modified 3-tab shingle. The Alaskan was designed to assist the roofing
contactors in The
Alaskan shingle, constructed using SBS “rubber” modified asphalt proved to
be the ideal shingle for that rugged environment. Over the next two decades,
word of the “rubber” shingles spread and soon Malarkey was selling SBS
shingles in all types of harsh environments. Michael
Malarkey, Owner of Malarkey Roofing would not allow his marketing staff to offer
high wind warranties until they could prove to him that the shingles would
actually perform. They did this by exposing the shingles to elevated wind tests.
In fact one of their tests had the shingle stapled, left unsealed and blown for
two hours at wind speeds of 100 mph. The shingle stayed intact throughout the
test. Malarkey’s
SBS modified shingles attract quite a bit of attention nation wide. In the
aftermath of Hurricane Andrew, Dade County Florida rewrote building codes to
assist its citizens in getting roofing products that actually could resist high
winds. For months, the only shingle that was allowed to be installed in Dada
County Florida was Malarkey’s Alaskan Shingle. After
several years of having our SBS “rubber” shingles in high wind markets, it
was an inevitability that they would show up in areas experiencing hail storms.
Again these shingles performed beyond anyone’s expectation in that they
survived numerous hailstorms while the roofs on neighboring houses had to be
replaced after a single storm. Malarkey’s SBS Modified shingles are one of the
few asphalt shingles awarded the class 4-impact resistance rating. The SBS “rubberizing” process used in manufacturing The Alaskan and Legacy shingles ensures the following advantages: High
wind endurance Malarkey
continues to add features to their products, which surpass any other shingles
available to the roofing contactor. For example, Malarkey has obtained patents
for The Zone™. The Zone offers several
advantages, not the least being a nailing area three times larger than older
style laminated shingles. For additional information, please call or write: For
