Roofing Shingles are the most commonly used roofing material in North America, which are now being widely preferred across India.

Shingles come in the form of 3 feet x1 feet sized sheets, in a thickness range of 4 to 12 mm. They are composites of reinforced fiberglass mesh and mineral stabilized, high grade asphalt, which has been overlaid with high strength ceramic coated granules.

They can be conveniently applied on any kind of sloped roofs -RCC slab/wood/fiber cement board etc.
