Shingle Roofing
Roofing shingles are commonly used in American countries but now they are widely preferred in Asian countries commonly in India. They are also known as laminated roofing. They are made of various cellulose fibres such as recycled waste paper and wood fibres forming an organic base. This is then saturated with specially formulated asphalt coating and surfaced with weather resistant mineral granules.
Most probably, Shingles comes with a thickness of 4 to 12mm. They can only be applied to sloped type roofs. They are highly aesthetic, water proof, and are unbreakable with zero maintenance, and having better strength and durability. Roof shingles refers to the type of roof covering that consists of many individual overlapping pieces. These pieces can be of many different materials but are usually rectangular and flat – ideal for layering. Typically, they are layered from the bottom up; offset from its neighboring shingle and with each successive row covering the joints of the row below it.
