Shingles Replace Hurricane Damaged Roofs in Virgin Islands
The beautiful Elysian Beach Resort is located next to the St. Thomas Yacht Club on the eastern end of the island. In 2017, Hurricanes Irma and Maria created catastrophic damage on St. Thomas, including the destruction of many roofs, causing the resort to close. The existing composite tile roofing material on the Elysian Beach Resort’s buildings was replaced with .032 aluminum Ascot White CastleTop shingles, manufactured by ATAS International. CastleTop shingles have an embossed texture, and an expanded polystyrene back board which supports the shingle during installation and aids in sound dampening. The tab interlock design of the shingle resists wind-uplift.
