Asphalt based roofing products today are designed to last 30, 40, even 50 years. This would not be possible without mineral
roofing granules. Our colored granules are an asphalt roofing system’s first line of defense from the environment.

SGI’s granule manufacturing process starts with the mining, crushing and sizing of a very select grade of stone into granules.
The physical properties of the stone at our quarries provide the durability and longevity that is demanded of SGI’s roofing granules.

Once the granules are properly sized, a proprietary and environmentally friendly semi-ceramic coating is applied to create the
rainbow of granule colors that have become one of the defining features for today’s most sought after roofing products.

Ultimately, Specialty Granules Inc. roofing granules provide both aesthetic appeal and protection for millions of homes across America.

Our Mineral Granules Provide:

• Weather Resistance
• Aesthetic Appeal
• Protection from the Sun's ultraviolet light
• Durability lasting decades

To aid in the conservation of energy usage within a home or building, SGI offers its line of  SolarShield™ Reflective Granules. 
Developed by a patented breakthrough manufacturing process, SGI’s latest innovation increases reflectance of most roofing
granules with minimal change to the original color. Our line of solar reflective granules meet EPA’s Energ y Star® steep-slope
roofing requirements and eliminates the dilemma of choosing between environmental responsibility and aesthetic appeal.

With the addition of Color Guard™ granules, which contain a patented algicidal formulation, the performance of asphalt
shingles is enhanced with protection from algae discoloration that will help maintain the original color of the asphalt shingles.
