The shingle brick was developed by Falcon Green Resources to create a new end market for asphalt roofing shingles. The blocks are 100% recycled content, made from manufactures defect shingles. The shingles are heated, mixed, and formed to create a block with excellent strength and crack resistance. During the research and development phase, we created blocks and recorded the variables like temperatures, time mixed, release agent used and, time spent in form. We learned to manipulate the variables to achieve an extraordinarily strong product with an attractive look.
