📜 History of Asbestos Use in Shingle Products

From the early 1900s through the late 1980s, asbestos was a key ingredient in shingles used on homes, businesses, factories, and military structures. Manufacturers incorporated asbestos into shingles for its ability to withstand fire, moisture, extreme temperatures, and weather damage. Cement and asphalt shingles reinforced with asbestos fibers were installed on millions of roofs and building exteriors across the United States.

Unfortunately, working with these materials released microscopic asbestos fibers into the air — especially when cutting, sawing, or removing shingles during construction or demolition. Even weathered shingles could shed asbestos fibers over time, creating long-term exposure risks for workers and nearby residents.
