The look of composition shingles with the benefits of metal roofing
Asphalt or fiberglass composition shingles have been the most popular roofing material over the last fifty years. They provide a clean look for most homes and, up until the last twenty years, could last 18-20 years. However, petroleum is an essential ingredient in composition shingles. As oil prices went higher and higher, composition companies began to skimp on the amount of petroleum used in their shingles. This skimping has led to a direct decrease in the product’s performance. Today composition shingles often last only 8-15 years.
Seeing this trend, Classic set out to engineer an aluminum panel that emulated the look of composition shingles while providing the proven benefits of metal roofing. Oxford Shingle is the perfect solution for someone who wishes to maintain the traditional look of their home while investing in the last roof they’ll ever need. The clean, simple lines blend with any home and are accepted by any homeowners association. Many homeowner associations and architectural review boards have seen products like Oxford Shingle as the key to allowing their residents to enjoy the many benefits of metal roofing.
