FAQ
Product Questions Answered
Shingles are lightweight, flat overlapping pieces that are easier and more affordable to install than tiles or metal roofing. Tiles last 50 to 100+ years but are heavy and expensive. Metal roofing lasts 50 to 70 years with strong weather resistance. Shingles are the most budget-friendly upfront but have a shorter lifespan of 15 to 30 years.
Shingles work well on sloped roofs in most climates. They shed heavy rainfall effectively and are lightweight, placing less stress on the roof structure. For hot and high-UV regions, choose shingles with solar-reflective granules to reduce heat absorption. They are not suitable for flat roofs where water can pool.
Standard 3-tab shingles last 15 to 20 years, while architectural shingles last 20 to 30 years. Premium shingles can last up to 50 years with proper maintenance. Lifespan depends on climate, attic ventilation, installation quality, and how regularly the roof is inspected and cleared of debris.
Shingles are water-resistant, not fully waterproof on their own. They work as part of a system where shingles shed the bulk of rain, while the underlayment acts as a secondary barrier, and flashing directs water away from joints and vents. Proper installation of all three layers is essential for a leak-free roof.
Standard shingles are not ideal for coastal or high-rainfall areas; salt air corrodes metal components, and humidity accelerates moss and algae growth. If you prefer shingles in these conditions, choose algae-resistant fiberglass shingles, install a heavy-duty waterproof underlayment, and use corrosion-resistant fasteners throughout.
Standard dark-coloured shingles absorb significant solar heat, making interiors warmer. Choosing light-coloured or cool roof shingles with solar-reflective granules reduces heat absorption considerably. Good attic ventilation and quality insulation further prevent heat from transferring into living spaces below.
Shingles are the most affordable upfront, starting from around ₹100 to ₹200 per sq. ft. installed. Metal sheets cost more upfront but last 40 to 60 years. Tiles are the most expensive, ranging from ₹50 to ₹200 per sq. ft. depending on type, but offer the longest lifespan and lowest long-term maintenance cost.
Most shingles come with a limited lifetime manufacturer warranty covering defects, wind resistance, and algae protection. Coverage is typically full in the first few years and covers a smaller percentage of costs over time. Contractor workmanship warranties covering installation quality are separate and usually range from 2 to 25 years depending on the installer.
