What Is Composite Shingle Roofing?
Composite shingle roofs are a durable and affordable residential roofing solution. They are the most popular and most highly recommended type of roofing for residential properties. This is because they look great, keep costs low and come in many different styles and colors.
These shingles are formed out of various materials glued together in layers. Shingles can be made of asphalt, slate, ceramic, fiberglass or laminate, and additives are included to weatherproof the composite materials.
