1Why Valley Village Roofs Age the Way They Do
Put simply, roofs in Valley Village bake. Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing.

Summer thermal load is the main ageing force on a Valley Village roof covering. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day once past day, for months.
