Shingling the roof. I am sorry to say that I can find little environmental benefit to asphalt roofs. Had Dennis and I owned the dome when it was being shingled, we would have chosen a different type of roof. However, the shingle chosen has a 40-50+ year life, double that of an ordinary shingle.
Also, there are now uses for recycled asphalt shingles when they have to be replaced. Because NSD has a ventilation area underneath the roof sheathing, the shingles will not deteriorate as fast and we may get more than a 50 year life! (Well, maybe not “we”.
