How do Elk shingles compare to other types of roofing products?
Elk shingles carry the Underwriters Laboratory Class “A” fire rating (the highest), while wood shingles are being banned in many areas because of fire danger. Untreated wood shingles can warp, curl and burn (and are often unwarranted), while Elk shingles are made with a fiberglass base to resist these problems. And Elk premium shingles are less expensive than wood or shake. Ordinary three-tab shingles are flat and thin — and look that way on a roof. Conversely, Elk shingles lend a high-profile look to your home which adds to its value. And their extraordinary thickness allows them to be applied over old roofing, avoiding costly tear-offs in many cases.
