Roof shingles come in a variety of types, each offering unique benefits in terms of appearance, durability, and cost. At Saint-Gobain, a trusted name in building materials, we specialize in high-quality asphalt roofing shingles that are designed to deliver both strength and style.

Here are the most common types of roof shingles used today:

Asphalt Shingles
These are the most popular and widely used roofing shingles worldwide. They are affordable, easy to install, and come in a wide range of colors and styles. Saint-Gobain offers premium asphalt shingles with superior weather resistance, making them ideal for both urban and coastal climates in India.

3-Tab Shingles
These are a type of asphalt shingle with a flat, uniform appearance. They are lightweight and cost-effective, making them a good choice for budget-conscious homeowners.

Architectural (Dimensional) Shingles
Also made of asphalt, architectural shingles are thicker and have a more textured, three-dimensional appearance. They offer enhanced durability and a more luxurious look — a popular choice in modern homes.

Luxury Shingles
These are the highest-end asphalt shingles and often mimic the appearance of slate or cedar wood shakes. Saint-Gobain’s premium shingles fall into this category, combining rich aesthetics with top-notch performance.

Wood Shingles and Shakes
Made from natural wood (like cedar), these provide a rustic, traditional look. However, they require more maintenance and are less fire-resistant compared to asphalt options.

Slate Shingles
These are made from natural stone and are extremely durable, often lasting over 100 years. However, they are heavy and expensive, which limits their use in many homes.

Metal Shingles
Made from steel, aluminum, or copper, metal shingles are durable and energy-efficient. They are suitable for both traditional and modern architectural styles.

Clay and Concrete Tiles
While not technically “shingles,” these are often used similarly on roofs and are very common in warmer climates. They are heavy but offer excellent heat resistance.

At Saint-Gobain, our focus is on delivering innovative asphalt shingles that provide the perfect balance of affordability, durability, and design. Our shingles are ideal for Indian weather conditions, require low maintenance, and enhance the beauty of any home.
