Cedar Shakes and Cedar Shingles for Sloped Roofs
Wood shingles are thin, tapered pieces of wood primarily used to cover roofs and walls of buildings to protect them from the weather. Historically shingles were split from straight grained, knot free bolts of wood. Today shingles are mostly made by being cut which distinguishes them from shakes which are made by being split out of a bolt.
Special treatments such as swept valleys, combed ridges, decorative butt ends, and decorative patterns impart a special character to each building.
Fiberglass Laminated Shingles for Sloped Roofs
Also known as Asphalt Duroid Shingles,Fiberglass Laminated Shingles are a type of wall or roof shingle. They are one of the most widely used roofing covers in North America because they have a relatively inexpensive up-front cost and are fairly simple to install.
Many shapes and textures of asphalt shingles are available: 3 tab, jet, “signature cut”, t-lock, tie lock, etc. Architectural (laminated) shingles are a multi-layer, laminated shingle which gives more varied, contoured visual effect to a roof surface and add more resistance for water.
Torch On Membrane for Flat Roofs
Torch On Roofing is a type of roofing that consists of levels of modified bitumen (similar to asphalt), which is heat-adhered to layers of fiberglass. Used only for flat or nearly flat roofs, torch down roofing is an excellent means of preventing moisture build-up and eliminating the need for constant maintenance. A Torch On Roofing system generally lasts 20 to 30 years.
