Types of Shingle Roofing (Toronto)
- Asphalt (regular): 3‑tab, architectural/laminated, and premium lines. Higher tiers add weight, wind rating, algae resistance, and longer warranties.
- Cedar shingles & shakes: Machine‑cut shingles vs. hand‑split shakes; white cedar vs. western red cedar. Beautiful, but needs good ventilation and maintenance.
- Slate shingles: Natural or synthetic (composite) slate with different thickness grades. Very long life; natural slate is heavy and needs structural review.
- Metal shingles: Interlocking steel or aluminum, including stone‑coated options. Multiple profiles that mimic shake/slate; coatings (e.g., PVDF) affect durability.
- Rubber / synthetic shingles: Rubber or polymer blends that imitate slate/wood, high impact resistance. Quality varies—look for recognized approvals and warranties.
Each shingle type comes in several variants and quality tiers. We bring samples and compare options so you get the right look, lifespan, and price for your roof.
