A class action lawsuit has been filed in South Carolina against Atlas Roofing Corporation alleging that the company’s Chalet shingles are defective. According to the allegations contained in the lawsuit, Atlas Chalet shingles blister and crack as early as one year after installation, leading to increased water absorption that may cause property damage.

The lawsuit alleges that Atlas Roofing was aware of the potential for blistering of its Chalet shingles but failed to correct the defect, which significantly reduces the life expectancy of the shingles. Specifically, the lawsuit alleges that Atlas designed the Chalet shingles to be manufactured in a manner that permits moisture to intrude, creating gas bubbles in the shingles which blister and crack over time. As described in the lawsuit, the blisters expand when exposed to moisture and the sun, causing the shingles to crack.
According to the lawsuit, customers who purchased Atlas Chalet shingles have been faced with expensive repair costs including, in some instances, replacing the defective shingles and installing a new roof.
