What Is Roofing Shingle?
Roofing shingle is a method of roofing in which shingles, typically made of materials like cypress or cedar, are used to cover roofs. These shingles, approximately 30 cm long and 3 mm thick, are traditionally hand-split and finely arranged with bamboo nails, representing a luxurious and elegant roofing technique.
In modern construction, metal roofing shingles have become more prevalent. These shingles are made of materials such as tin, tinplate, and aluminum. The use of copper, stainless steel, and titanium in roofing shingles is also on the rise.
Uses of Roofing Shingle
Metal roofing shingles are often chosen for general housing due to their lighter weight and lower cost compared to tile roofing. Steel sheets and aluminum are commonly used materials in residential construction.
