Shingles are made up of various material such as wood, slate, flagstone, cement, fiber, plastic or asphalt. Shingles are flat or rectangular elements laid in course from the bottom edge of the roof up, each course overlaps the joints below.

The different types of shingle are:

Asphalt shingles are primarily composed of asphalt. Asphalt shingles are mostly used on residential roof or steep slope exteriors. These are available in different colors, designs, styles, shapes and sizes.

Organic shingles are made from paper, recycled cardboard, wood chip and rags. These shingles are not durable compared to fiberglass and are not so popular anymore.

Fiberglass shingles are more durable and reliable. One of the most obvious benefits of fiberglass is that it’s more fire resistant.

Wood shingles are the most stylish shingles and the cheapest. Wood shingles have uniform ends and a smooth front and back. Wood shingles are also organic, eco-friendly and durable.

Slate shingles are created from slate- a natural rock. Slate is mined and cut to become a slate shingle. They are good in resisting water absorption. Slate shingles are reliable and not easily damaged.

Solar shingles are protective and produce energy through the sun. They can save a lot of money on electricity costs by harnessing the suns power.
