Architectural shingles

Layered construction gives a dimensional profile. Product-specific colors, trim and installation requirements determine the finished appearance and system. A sound deck and integrated flashing are still essential.

Impact-rated shingles

A stated rating describes performance under a laboratory test. It does not mean a roof cannot suffer hail damage. Insurer eligibility and any discount depend on the policy and exact product.
