Atlas Roofing - ShinglesA roof is a very important, as well as expensive, feature of your home. Maintaining your roof is one of the best ways to protect you, your family and all you keep under that roof. Atlas Protects™ is more than a slogan as the company, with decades of experience, has the products and advice to help you reduce roof maintenance.
Atlas Roofing StormMaster® Slate and Shake shingles have high performance features that can help resist the many hazards that a roof can face each year. This strength means you, the homeowner, may face fewer maintenance issues.
Master The Storms
Underwriter’s Laboratory, UL 2218 is a national standard rating system for impact resistance that rates roofing materials from Class 1 through 4. A Class 4 rating indicates the highest level of impact resistance. Atlas StormMaster® Shake and StormMaster® Slate shingles have both earned Class 4 ratings. These shingles are strong enough to earn the Class 4 rating because they are manufactured with Styrene Butadiene Styrene (SBS), a rubberized polymer that gives them incredible flexibility and durability. The rubber-like quality gives StormMaster® shingles the highest protection against impact from hail, which can fracture shingles.
StormMaster® shingles are also high wind-rated which helps resist blown off shingles. Loss of shingles due to high velocity wind could lead to wind-driven rain flooding a house. StormMaster® Slate and Shake come with a Limited Wind Warranty that protects a roof up to 130 mph.
Black streaks on a roof not only look dirty, but also make a house appear old and reduce its curb appeal. Black streaks are the result of algae growth. Atlas StormMaster® shingles are built with the power of Scotchgard™ Protector, which helps a roof retain its color for years by resisting those black streaks. Atlas certifies this by having regular third-party laboratory testing to ensure an even spread of the Scotchgard™ protective copper granules. Both lines of StormMaster® are backed by an Atlas Lifetime Limited Warranty against the black streaks caused by algae.
The Final Word In Warranties
StormMaster® shingles are warranted against manufacturing defects with the exclusive Atlas Lifetime Limited Warranty for 20 years. That is the length of the Premium Protection Period for the initial non-prorated labor and material coverage of every new StormMaster® Slate roof installed with the Atlas Signature Select® System.
StormMaster® shingles give a house what it needs most; an incredibly impressive appearance and security that shelters everything and everyone under the roof. Read more about the full line of StormMaster® shingles.
Donald S. Richardson AIAWhen the owners of historic Weeden Farm, one of the oldest privately held farms in New England, decided to divide their property, a generous benefactor stepped in to save a large portion of the land and underwrite the construction of The Barn, as it is known, to be used as the headquarters of the South Kingstown Land Trust. The new HQ building replaced a 19th Century building that had been used to hold farm equipment and as a summer residence for extended family members. The original building was beyond renovation, and DSR AIA & Assoc. was commissioned to design a new building on the original footprint. The design goal was to provide a modern multi-functional space acknowledging the original barn in scale and materials and was respectful of the character of the remaining 18th Century farm buildings. The main floor houses a large common area used for meetings and informal gatherings, as well as a modern catering kitchen and bathrooms. Upstairs, several offices, a library and conference room, and an additional bathroom serve the SKLT staff, while the addition of a large stone loggia on the ground floor welcomes summer visitors and groups. The Barn project received several design awards.
YesterTec Design CompanyOur modestly sized original showroom (we've since moved to a different location) was designed to show some examples of how the workstation concept can work for almost any kitchen size or style. And even though the showroom features more finishes, colors, sizes and details than a real YesterTec kitchen would have, the variations are possible because the colors of the wall and floor surfaces meander between each piece, acting as the ‘glue’ that unifies the design.
Many of the prototype pieces that you see below were created in 1996 and three of them were tortured during our extensive Underwriter Laboratory tests that were required so that we could safely hide the ‘hot’ appliances when they are not being used. We still feel that the ability to conceal the ‘tech’ look of today’s appliances is what makes this concept so enduring.

The iron piece above the bar boasts form and function, providing glass storage and lighting. The riveted stainless steel bar front and stainless steel foot rail accent the space with a nod to aviation (the owner is a pilot) in this Aspen mountain home.

Colorhouse PaintOmbre is a blending of colors to create a fading effect. When talking interior paints, it’s basically blending 2 or more colors on a wall. The ombre look starts with the lightest color at the top, which blends into the medium value color, which blends into the darkest hue at the bottom of the wall. It’s like horizontal stripes, but without the hard lines. Ombre is best applied on a single accent wall. Colors that have less contrast blend more easily and create the best results.
