Roofing shingles have come a long way from simple, functional coverings to highly engineered materials that combine durability, style, and sustainability. In Kerala, where weather conditions range from heavy rains to intense heat, modern roofing solutions have evolved to meet both climatic and aesthetic needs. At Scaffs India, we’ve witnessed and contributed to this evolution—offering everything from traditional asphalt shingles to advanced solar roofing systems.
1. The Early Era: Asphalt Roofing Shingles
For decades, asphalt traditional 3-tab roofing shingles were the go-to choice for homeowners. They provided a cost-effective and easy-to-install solution, ideal for Kerala’s tropical climate. These shingles offered dependable waterproofing and decent durability, making them a reliable roofing option for residential projects.
However, as design trends evolved and homeowners demanded more visual appeal, the next generation of shingles was born.
2. The Rise of Architectural Roofing Shingles
Architectural shingles revolutionised roofing design. With their multi-dimensional patterns, thicker layers, and enhanced resistance to harsh weather, they became the preferred choice for those wanting both style and strength.
Scaffs India’s Architectural Roofing Shingles in Kerala range includes premium models like Dynasty Roofing Shingles, which combine innovative granule technology and superior colour retention for a long-lasting finish.
These shingles brought a new era of design versatility—perfect for wooden cottages, A-frame cottages, and mudroom cottages that require both beauty and protection.
3. Premium Designer Shingles: Roofing Meets Luxury
As homes became architectural statements, roofing followed suit. Premium designer roofing shingles like the Armourshake Roofing Shingles collection deliver a handcrafted, rustic look while maintaining top-tier weather performance.
These luxury shingles simulate the charm of natural wood or slate roofs while offering the low-maintenance advantages of modern materials. Homeowners now have the freedom to design roofs that reflect personal style without compromising durability or efficiency.
