A mineral-surfaced, self-adhering roll roofing engineered to look like 3-tab and architectural asphalt shingles — so a roof goes on in continuous courses but finishes like a premium shingle roof.
Roll roofing has always been the fast, economical way to cover a roof — but it reads as utilitarian, so it stays off the visible parts of homes. Asphalt shingles deliver the look people want, but they go on piece by piece and individual tabs are the first thing to lift in a storm.
Roll Roofing Design closes that gap. It's built the way conventional roll roofing is made — a felt or fiberglass mat, asphalt-saturated and granule-surfaced — but the top surface is printed and textured to read as real 3-tab and architectural shingles, with the shingle pattern engineered to register course-to-course so the finished roof looks like a true shingle roof, not a sheet.
The result: the appearance homeowners pay for, applied at roll-roofing speed and economy.
What's been missing is the look of shingles at the speed and economy of a roll.
Full-width courses run along the eave and work up to the ridge, covering the field far faster than laying shingles one at a time.
A peel-and-stick back bonds the material fully to the roof. With no individual tabs to catch the wind, it sidesteps the most common shingle failure.
The shingle pattern is engineered to register course-to-course, so the staggered look reads continuously across the whole roof.
Choose the classic 3-tab or the dimensional architectural look, with shadow lines built into the print for real depth.
Illustrative renders of the printed, granulated surface — not photographs.
Continuous courses cover the field in a fraction of the time, with a smaller crew.
Fully adhered, with no individual tabs to lift — the dominant shingle failure mode.
A convincing architectural-shingle look at roll-roofing economics.
Engineered to go across the entire roof surface, not just low-slope sections.
