Shingles Roofing.

Description

Shingles are designed to appear like more traditional and expensive roofing products, such as tiles. At a distance, higher-quality shingles can be difficult to distinguish from tiles. However, lower-end shingles are quite clearly their own product. Each shingle has a number of ‘tabs’ on it, which replicate the look of tiles. Two, three, and four-tab shingles are all available, with three being the most commonly used.

Shingles work on pitched roofs to create a waterproof barrier. Multiple shingles are laid overlapping on a roof, beginning at the bottom, the first ‘course’ runs horizontally along the roof. Successive courses slightly overlap the previous one as they make their way up to the roof’s ridgeline.
