Abstract
As a result of complaints and reported failures and problems with 20-year guaranteed asphalt fiberglass shingles throughout the midwest area of the country, MRCA conducted a survey of its members in June 1992 to determine the extent and type of problems being encountered. As a result of the finding of this survey, and based upon the large number of cracking and splitting of fiberglass shingles, MRCA sponsored a program at the Chicago Testing Lab in early May, 1993.
