In 2025, roofing shingles are more than just protective layers—they’re a bold design statement or a subtle architectural enhancement. Homeowners are increasingly choosing between daring colour palettes and timeless, understated tones to elevate their rooftops. So, is 2025 the year of vibrant shingles or neutral elegance? Let’s dive into the trends shaping Indian rooftops, especially in Kerala’s premium housing market.
Bold Roofing Shingles: Making a Statement
Bold-coloured shingles are gaining momentum among homeowners who want their roofs to stand out. Shades like midnight black, navy blue, terracotta red, and forest green are popular in urban settings and luxury residential projects.
Key Features:
Enhanced Curb Appeal for modern and contemporary homes.
Designer Roofing Shingles available in a range of bold hues with superior UV protection.
Preferred for Premium Designer Roofing Shingle Projects (Explore Premium Designer Roofing Shingles in Kerala).
Subtle Tones: The Timeless Classic
Despite the rise of bold colours, subtle and earthy tones like slate grey, taupe, and weathered wood remain popular, especially for heritage homes, coastal properties, and eco-conscious builds.
Why Subtle Shades Still Lead:
Harmonise with a wide variety of architectural styles.
Preferred in Asphalt Traditional 3-Tab Roofing Shingles for their classic appeal (View Traditional 3-Tab Shingles).
Excellent for Coastal Homes where salt-resistant coatings enhance durability.
Hybrid Colour Trends: The Best of Both Worlds
Manufacturers are now introducing multi-tone shingles—blending subtle base colours with bold granule highlights. This caters to homeowners seeking a modern yet elegant aesthetic.
