How much do asphalt shingles cost?

Asphalt shingles are a very cost-competitive roofing product compared to the other mainstream roofing materials in Australia, including tiles and metal.  Roof shingles are considerably cheaper than Terracotta tiles, Western Red Cedar Shakes, Natural Slates, and Thatching. Asphalt roof shingles cost between $20 and $40 per m² for the most popular styles. The shingle cost is generally in line with the lifespan.

Asphalt Shingles Cost Price

Our roofing materials are the heaviest in the industry, with a very high asphalt content (SBS-modified bitumen), tightly packed granules, and an industry-leading, strong fibre-glass core mat. Quite simply, thicker/heavier shingles mean a longer lifespan and higher-quality roof shingles.

The weight of asphalt shingle roofing materials is an easy way of determining their quality. Our shingle bundles are the heaviest on the market.

Types of American Asphalt Roof Shingles.

The two main types are three-tab and Architectural shingles. The three-tab shingle is a traditional style made to resemble slate shingle roofing. Architectural shingles are also called Laminated or Dimensional and are designed to resemble natural wooden shakes.

Three-tab | Slate Look Asphalt Roof Shingles.

The three-tab asphalt shingles resemble slate roofing. This classic, timeless look will suit most homes, from ultra-modern to classic/period. The low-profile shingle is unobtrusive and subtle in appearance.

Architectural / Laminated / Dimensional Roof Shingles.

High-end Architectural roof shingles mimic the look of real cedar shakes or natural slats. Unlike these products, there is no high cost and ongoing upkeep. Architectural shingles are suitable for Australian roofs. The Architectural shingles provide superior protection against strong winds – up to 210km/hr. The Marathon range rates at 110km/hr with a storm-nailing pattern.

Ultra-Premium Architectural Shingles.

We also offer an ULTRA premium range of Architectural shingles. These multi-laminated shingles come with Limited Lifetime warranties and the highest hail impact rating. The entire range provides many decades of life and gives your home a unique look. For a WOW factor, the ULTRA Architectural shingles are unbeatable in both style and quality.

We are the Australian suppliers of asphalt roofing materials. We are the largest supplier of shingle roofing and related products in Australia. Our roof supplies are rated among the best available.

Our shingle roofing features a strong fibre-glass mat, a thick bitumen coating, and tightly packed ceramic granules.

This thick asphalt layer, combined with the dense coating of ceramic granules, gives shingles their long lifespan. These elements make our shingle roof supplies the best available Worldwide.

All our shingle roofs include algae-resistant copper granules that inhibit the growth of moss and algae. Algae can cause discolouration and unattractive black streaks.

American Roofing Materials for Australian Homes.

Shingle roofs will complement most pitched residential roofs, from modern Architectural to classic. You can apply asphalt shingle roofing as cladding on vertical walls and low-slope roofs, down to a 9.5-degree pitch.

We have been building roofs in Australia for 15 years. At last, count over 500 shingle roofs. The roofs we have built up to 15 years ago are still in excellent condition, handling Australia’s weather with ease.

The Asphalt Shingle Roofing System.

The main elements of a shingle system are Structural plywood sheets, Underlay, and the shingles themselves. This combination is both lightweight and extremely strong. Gone are the days of cracking tiles or damaging metal roofs.

A single roof is incredibly durable and long-lasting. You can walk on it without causing damage due to the structural plywood roofing sheets. Access is a real benefit when you need to inspect your roof, clean out your gutters, move the TV aerial, etc. Installing skylights is also relatively simple, with the shingles and underlay providing the overlap required over the skylight flashing.

Key Components of an Asphalt Shingle System.

• 15mm A-Bond Structural Plywood D/D face 2400 x 1200 tongue and groove.
• Premium synthetic roof underlay (cover entire roof).
• Premium adhesive-backed rubberised membrane (valleys, skylights, etc).
• Choice of asphalt roof shingles.
• Starter course shingles.
• Hip and Ridge shingles.
• Slimline premium ridge vent.
• Extended metal drip edge into gutter.
• Metal step flashings to vertical penetrations/walls.
• Stainless Steel roofing coil clout nails.

Green Environmental Credentials of Asphalt Roofing Materials.

• Asphalt roofing materials are made from bitumen and granules and recycled to make pavements and roads.
• We have a range of “Cool Colours” that keep the heat down, saving energy costs.
• The lightweight system requires less structure/mass in the home build, aiding the environment.
• Our shingles use recycled content in the manufacturing process of their asphalt shingles.
• The insulated plywood sheets store CO² for the life of the building. These sheets remove CO² from the atmosphere.
• Our shingle roofs are used extensively in areas where earthquakes are prone to occur. This system weighs up to 6 times less than roof tiles or Slates; shingles are a much safer roofing material alternative.
• The structural plywood insulated sheets brace the roof and provide a protective layer from falling trees, etc.
• Shingle roofs are a ventilated roof system. The cross-ventilation includes inlet ventilation near the gutter and outlet ventilation at the ridge, eliminating problems caused by moisture build-up, including mould/mildew, wood rot, and damaging insects.
• Due to the plywood insulated cladding, your roof space can be an attic for storage or an extra room for the kids.
