Balancing Form and Function With Windsor® Designer Shingles

Some homeowners are okay with their roof’s appearance taking a backseat as long as they have reliable and durable roofs. Others, on the other hand, want to make sure they’re getting the best out both style and substance. If you belong to the latter group, the Windsor® designer shingles might be a good fit for your needs.

Easton Roofing, a trusted provider of residential and commercial roofing services, shares more details about the Windsor line from Malarkey Roofing Products®.

Windsor® XL Scotchgard™ and Windsor Scotchgard: What’s the Difference?

Two options are available in the Windsor line: Windsor XL Scotchgard™ and Windsor Scotchgard. Their difference mainly lies in the thickness and overall mass of the shingles. Windsor XL shingles are 20% thicker than Windsor shingles, and they also boast a 17% increase in overall mass.

The extra thickness of the Windsor XL shingles provide your roof with a more pronounced and elevated look.

5 Reasons to Get Windsor Designer Shingles

Malarkey is trusted by many professional contractors. So, whether you have decided to get Windsor XL shingles or Windsor shingles, you are sure to get value for your money. Here are some of the advantages of Malarkey’s Windsor line over comparable competitor products:

  1. Windsor has 17% more exposure than other designer shingles. This is due to its unique construction, which creates a dimensional and dramatic look. Shingles are dimensional, and their unique cut creates a dramatic look. They are also polymer modified asphalt with two layers – a backer and patterned dragon tooth – bonded together.

  2. Windsor provides superior Class 4 impact resistance. These designer shingles are fortified with Malarkey’s Flexor™ SBS polymer modified asphalt technology, which allows the shingles to retain the rubber-like characteristics of raw asphalt while adding the enhanced characteristics of polymers.

  3. Windsor is part of the Malarkey Secure Choice™ residential roofing system. This gives you better options when adding components to improve your roof’s performance. They also come with a 110 mile per hour Limited Wind Warranty.
