ASPHALT FIBERGLASS COMPOSITE SHINGLES
Dimensional Shingles: Dimensional Shingles (or Architectural Laminated Shingles) are now the predominant roofing shingles installed in North America. These products are manufactured as dual layered products (or multi-layered in the case of CertainTeed’s tri-laminate technology) and provide a thicker and richer appearance on the roof (a multi-dimensional look). Dimensional Roofing Shingles also typically are heavier weight than Strip Roofing Shingles and usually have improved warranty protections, which can range from 30-years to Lifetime. CertainTeed’s Landmark® Series roofing shingles are a prototypically design for a Dimensional Roofing Shingle.
SBS RUBBERIZED SHINGLES
NorthGate SBS
CertainTeed's NorthGate SBS rubberized asphalt shingle is unmatched by other standard asphalt shingles. The rubberizing aspect of SBS allows greater flexibility so the shingles resist cracking even in extreme cold-weather, allowing for year round application. SBS also offers superior granule adhesion which is one of the key components in protecting the shingle against the elements.
- Class IV Impact Resistant, the highest rating available
- Greater cold-weather flexibility
