When it comes to protecting your home, your roof is the first line of defense against the elements. That’s why at Up Top Exteriors, we’re proud to offer top-tier roofing solutions like SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) modified asphalt shingles. These shingles, like CertainTeed’s Landmark® ClimateFlex™, are redefining durability and performance, especially in harsh weather conditions. Here’s everything you need to know about SBS roofing shingles and why they might be the perfect choice for your home.
What Are SBS Roofing Shingles?

SBS roofing shingles are engineered with a unique rubberized asphalt formula that gives them enhanced flexibility and durability. This rubberized asphalt helps the shingles withstand extreme temperatures, impact, and aging, making them a superior option compared to traditional asphalt shingles.
These shingles combine premium aesthetics with advanced performance, offering homeowners the best of both worlds: beauty and resilience.
Key Benefits of SBS Roofing Shingles
- Durability SBS shingles are built to last. Their rubber-like composition makes them more resistant to cracking, tearing, and granule loss, even in freezing or scorching temperatures. This durability ensures your roof stays intact and continues to protect your home for years to come.
- Impact Resistance Worried about hail or falling debris? SBS shingles are designed to absorb impact without breaking. Many SBS shingles achieve Class 4 impact resistance—the highest rating available—which can even qualify you for insurance discounts in some areas.
- Flexible Performance in Any Climate Traditional shingles can become brittle in cold weather or soften in extreme heat, leading to premature wear. SBS shingles remain flexible in all temperatures, allowing them to adapt and maintain their integrity no matter the climate.
- Enhanced Wind Resistance High winds are no match for SBS roofing shingles. Their robust composition and advanced adhesive properties help them stay securely in place during storms, offering peace of mind in severe weather conditions.
- Energy Efficiency SBS shingles are designed with solar-reflective granules that reduce heat absorption. This keeps your home cooler in the summer, helping you save on energy bills while reducing your environmental impact.
- Aesthetics SBS shingles don’t just perform well—they look fantastic too. With a wide variety of colors, styles, and textures, you can achieve a roof that complements your home’s design while providing unparalleled protection.
