Attic temperatures in Westlake Village drive shingle life as much as the weather above does, which is why ventilation matters more here than the brochure suggests. Roofs in Westlake Village bake. Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing. Put simply, afternoon sun on a west-facing Westlake Village slope ages that side years ahead of the rest of the roof.
