Roofing shingles are a popular roofing material used across residential and commercial buildings in India. They offer durability, aesthetic appeal, and a range of options to suit different climates and budgets. At Scaffs India, we specialise in supplying and installing premium roofing shingles for homes, resorts, and prefab cottages across Kerala and beyond.
Types of Roofing Shingles
1. Asphalt Shingles
Widely used due to their affordability and weather resistance, asphalt shingles are ideal for Indian climates. They come in three main styles: 3-tab, dimensional, and luxury shingles.
2. Fibreglass Shingles
Lightweight and fire-resistant, fibreglass shingles offer long-term performance and low maintenance.
3. Architectural Shingles
Known for their thicker profile and textured appearance, architectural shingles enhance curb appeal and provide greater durability.
4. Metal Shingles
While not as common, metal shingles are gaining popularity for their longevity and sleek modern look. They’re especially effective in areas prone to heavy rain or humidity.
