Top February articles: HVAC problems, skylights and new asphalt emulsion

By Evelyn Witterholt. 

Here’s what’s been trending in the AskARoofer™ newsroom for the month of February. 

Although AskARoofer mainly offers roofing advice, many of our readers might want answers to their other pressing questions. That’s why one of our most-read articles from February was a piece from roofing expert Henry Staggs that was all about HVAC problems. When a leak occurs, it might not necessarily be a roof issue, but an HVAC problem. Henry outlines how to differentiate between these two problems in this insightful article. 

Our readers were also interested in reading about rooftop accessories as one of our top articles was a comprehensive guide to skylights from IKO Industries. In this piece, they outline the pros and cons of skylights as well as the three main types of skylights on the market. They also discuss the types of glass used in skylights and how they hold up against hail. This article has just about everything a homeowner needs to know about skylights!  

Our most-read article from February came to us from Western Colloid who recently launched their 298 X Asphalt Emulsion. This product is a game-changer for building owners who need to restore their gravel roofs. The 298 X Asphalt emulsion helps build up areas on the roof with ponding water. The product is currently being produced in their Texas plant and in 2024, production will expand to their Oakland and Los Angeles, California plants.
