WHAT ARE HORIZON ROOF SHINGLES?
The CertainTeed Horizon brand shingles were a popular choice in the 80s and 90s.
These shingles caught the eyes of homeowners because they were organic but there was a catch that homeowners weren't aware of.
Since the shingles were organic, they began to break down much faster than regular shingles and has led to a slew of problems for homeowners.
The shingles had frequent issues with thermal blistering and other defects including cracking, fishmouthing, degranulating and premature deterioration.
BHC Roofing and Siding has aided several homeowners throughout Kentucky to get their Horizon brand shingles replaced with brand new roofs.

WHAT DO HORIZON DEFECTS LOOK LIKE?
Cracking: This is typically caused by heat.
Fishmouthing: This term refers to when shingles curl up and resemble that of a fish mouth.
Degranulating: This means that the roof shingle granules are falling out which cause the shingles to no longer be waterproof as well as become a potential home for algae on your roof.
Premature deterioration: This refers to general damage from natural causes.
When it comes to insurance, it's difficult to determine if roof damage is caused by hail/storm damage or from thermal blistering.
