Asphalt Shingle Siding

.

AKA: Strip Siding, Synthetic Siding

Location: Milton, Delaware

Additional Information: Sometime around 1930, asphalt shingles became a popular siding product in the USA. Asphalt siding was often coupled with sheets of pressed cellulose to give older homes a new skin directly over wooden clapboards. The cellulose sheets added a layer of insulation which gave the system a lot of appeal.

Asphalt siding came in a variety of colors and styles including the wood grain shown here and a brick pattern which was very popular. Its use began to decline in the 1960's as interlocking aluminum and steel clapboard came more into fashion.
