Reinforced Fibreglass Construction
These shingles are manufactured using a lightweight glass fibre reinforced bitumen construction, providing strength and dimensional stability while remaining easy to handle during installation.
Fibreglass roofing shingles are particularly suitable for timber garden buildings because they create an attractive tiled appearance without adding the substantial weight associated with traditional clay, concrete or slate tiles.
The reinforced construction makes them a great choice for customers wanting a durable roofing finish for outdoor buildings.
Attractive Red Finish
The rich red finish creates an eye-catching traditional appearance that works particularly well with natural timber and painted garden buildings.
Red roofing shingles are ideal for adding character to:
- Garden sheds
- Summerhouses
- Log cabins
- Garden offices
- Garden rooms
- Workshops
- Chalets
- Beach huts
- Stables
- Playhouses
- Dog kennels
- Timber outbuildings
The colour provides a particularly attractive contrast against natural wood, creating a warm and traditional garden-building appearance.
Classic 3-Tab Square Design
The 3-tab profile is one of the most recognisable roofing shingle styles.
Each strip creates three visible square or rectangular sections once correctly overlapped, resulting in a clean and uniform tiled pattern.
Compared with hexagonal shingles, the 3-tab style provides a straighter and more traditional roof appearance, making it ideal for customers who prefer a simple and classic finish.
3m² Coverage Per Pack
Each pack provides approximately 3 square metres of finished roof coverage when installed with the correct overlaps.
When calculating how many packs are required, measure the complete roof area and allow additional material for:
- Shingle overlaps
- Roof pitch
- Cutting
- Eaves
- Verges
- Ridge details
- Waste
For larger sheds, cabins or summerhouses, multiple packs can be combined to cover the required roof area.
Ideal Alternative to Standard Shed Roofing Felt
Traditional roll roofing felt provides a practical waterproof covering, but fibreglass roofing shingles provide a much more decorative finished appearance.
Instead of a continuous sheet, the overlapping 3-tab design gives the roof the appearance of individual tiles.
This makes them especially suitable for customers upgrading premium garden buildings such as:
- Summerhouses
- Garden offices
- Log cabins
- Garden rooms
- High-quality sheds
- Workshops
If appearance is an important part of the finished building, roofing shingles can provide a significant visual upgrade over basic shed felt.
Lightweight Roofing Solution
One of the major benefits of fibreglass shingles is their relatively lightweight construction.
Unlike traditional concrete, clay or slate roofing materials, these shingles are suitable for many timber garden building roofs without adding excessive weight.
Individual shingle strips are also easier to:
- Transport
- Carry
- Position
- Align
- Cut
- Overlap
- Secure in place
This makes them suitable for both professional installers and competent DIY users.
Weather-Resistant Decorative Roof Covering
These reinforced fibreglass shingles are designed to provide both an attractive appearance and dependable outdoor roof protection.
Correctly overlapped courses help create a weather-resistant external roof covering while the mineral-finished surface provides the decorative appearance.
For best performance, the shingles should form part of a properly designed roof system incorporating a suitable roof deck, underlay and appropriate fixings.
Use with a Suitable Roofing Underlay
Roofing shingles should be installed as the outer decorative roof covering over a suitable roofing underlay.
The underlay provides an additional layer of waterproof protection underneath the shingles and helps create a complete roofing system.
A typical installation may include:
- Clean and structurally sound timber roof deck
- Suitable roofing felt underlay
- Red 3-Tab Square Fibreglass Roofing Shingles
- Suitable ridge shingles
- Cold bitumen mastic or appropriate fixing method
- Galvanised Extra Large Head clout nails
Using compatible roofing components helps create a stronger, neater and longer-lasting finished roof.
Secure Mechanical Fixing
These 3-tab shingles should be securely installed using the appropriate fixing method.
The specified fixing system includes galvanised Extra Large Head clout nails, which provide a secure mechanical fixing while spreading the load across the surface of the shingle.
Galvanised fixings provide additional resistance against corrosion, making them suitable for outdoor roofing applications.
A compatible cold bitumen mastic can also be used as part of the installation.
Roofing Shingle Installation
For best results:
- Ensure the roof deck is clean, dry and structurally sound
- Install a suitable roofing underlay
- Begin laying shingles from the lower edge of the roof
- Position the first course carefully and evenly
- Maintain the required overlap between courses
- Stagger joints to create the correct 3-tab pattern
- Secure using suitable galvanised Extra Large Head clout nails
- Use appropriate cold bitumen mastic where required
- Carefully finish the eaves and verge edges
- Complete the apex using suitable ridge shingles
Correct installation and consistent spacing are important for achieving both a professional appearance and reliable weather protection.
Suitable for New Roofs & Refurbishment
These Red 3-Tab Fibreglass Roofing Shingles are suitable for both new roofing installations and roof refurbishment projects.

- Roofing a new garden shed
- Installing a summerhouse roof

Use with Matching Ridge Shingles
For a complete roof finish, the 3-tab shingles can be combined with suitable Red Reinforced Fibreglass Ridge Roofing Shingles.
Ridge shingles are designed specifically to cover and protect the apex where the two opposing roof slopes meet.
Using matching red ridge pieces creates a consistent appearance across the complete roofing system and provides a professional finish at the roof apex.
