Fibreglass laminated shingles, featured on this Way-Mar customer’s home in Kitchener, have become increasingly popular because
they are built with a heavier base mat and multiple layers of a more refined quality of asphalt than their three-tab predecessor.
Not only are laminated shingles strong, flexible, and highly fire-resistant, they also provide a greater texture and depth than the
flat layering of three-tab shingles. This home features CertainTeed’s Grand Manor multi-layered laminate shingles in Black Pearl to
replicate the look of slate.
Way-Mar installed this Vicwest “Prestige” standing seam metal roof on a cottage, boathouse and garage. Despite the higher
investment, a metal roof is easy to install, fire-resistant, lightweight and boasts incredible durability. Additionally, a metal roof
is 100% recyclable and because it reflects the sun’s rays, it will keep your home cooler in the summer. Metal roofs can be made
from steel, aluminum, copper, and alloy strips and come in various shapes, textures and colours.
