What are Designer Shingles?

Designer shingles are quickly becoming one of the most popular options for roofing because they truly set a home apart from the rest of the neighborhood.  Designer shingles are a concept that stem from dimensional shingles, yet with unique characteristics and properties that provide visual appeal and advanced protection.  Many styles give the appearance of slate, shake or tile at a fraction of the price. Choosing designer shingles for a roofing system means more of an upfront cost, yet a greater opportunity for a solid return on investment and increased property value.

When comparing high-end designer shingles to less expensive options, there are several differences.  Designer shingles tend to be a bit heavier, but they are far more durable. This is significant in any location that experiences extreme weather like winter storms, hurricanes, etc. Designer shingles are also an excellent choice for homes with steeply pitched rooflines.

Here are some facts and benefits of designer shingles:

• Timeless, sophisticated appearance offers distinctive curb appeal.
• Adds the most value to a home and provides a great return on investment.
• From rugged, dramatic, old world or Victorian, there are many style options that are easily captured with designer shingles.
• Endless possibilities for color, shape and cut to compliment a home’s architectural style.
• Most designer roofing systems greatly exceed the minimum requirements for construction materials in building codes.
• Top quality examples like GAF Camelot & Grand Canyon and Certainteed Landmark & Grand Manor carry a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects and a non-prorated period of 50 years.
