Warranty changes in the roofing industry lead to development of updated composition Shingle Gauge™ for laminated asphalt composition shingles.

Carrollton, TX (PRWEB) April 24, 2006 –- Haag Engineering, a respected leader in the analysis of failure and damage, has announced the release of a revised second generation Shingle Gauge™. This popular tool is a unique Haag invention used by residential roofing inspectors and insurance adjusters to measure the approximate warranty of 3-tab organic, 3-tab fiberglass or laminated asphalt composition shingles. The device, similar to a metal ruler, provides measurements useful in specifying the warranty range of replacement shingles.

Haag Engineering has sold more than 5,000 new gauges since introducing the updated version in March 2006. The original second generation gauge was first released in October 2004. Scott Morrison, P.E., Research & Testing Director for Haag Engineering, said “Recent changes in the shingle industry have required us to revise the second generation gauge to help inspectors determine the warranty for asphalt composition shingles.”
