Which roofing material is composed of asphalt and fiberglass?

The correct choice is composite shingles, which are indeed made from a combination of asphalt and fiberglass. This type of roofing material is designed to offer enhanced durability and protection against the elements while being lightweight and easier to install than many traditional roofing materials. The fiberglass base provides structural integrity and strength, while the asphalt serves as a waterproofing agent, helping to prevent leaks and water damage.

Composite shingles come in a variety of styles and colors, mimicking the appearance of wood or slate shingles while offering superior performance and longevity. They are also often more cost-effective over time due to their lower maintenance requirements and resistance to UV rays and harsh weather conditions.

In contrast, rubber roofing is typically made from synthetic rubber compounds, and EPDM membrane is a specific type of rubber roofing that is also synthetic, designed for flat or low-slope roofs. BUR roofing, or built-up roofing, consists of multiple layers of bitumen and reinforcing fabrics but does not use asphalt-fiberglass composites. Thus, composite shingles remain distinct in their unique asphalt and fiberglass construction.
