3m² Coverage Per Pack
Each pack contains 21 roofing shingles, providing approximately 3 square metres of finished roof coverage when correctly installed with the required overlaps.
This figure represents installed coverage rather than simply the total physical area of all the shingle pieces.
The overlapping installation pattern is an essential part of the roofing system because it allows each successive row to cover vulnerable joints and fixing areas below.
21 Shingles Per Pack
Each pack contains 21 individual pieces.
This makes quantity calculations relatively straightforward when planning a roofing project.
For larger roofs, divide the total roof area by the stated 3m² pack coverage and always allow additional material for:
- Cutting
- Eaves
- Verges
- Ridge details
- Roof shape
- Valleys where applicable
- Waste
It is normally sensible to order some additional material rather than calculating exactly to the theoretical roof area.
100cm Long Shingle Strips
Each roofing shingle measures approximately 100cm long.
The long strip format makes installation quicker than fitting individual small tiles while still producing the appearance of multiple decorative hexagonal sections.
The strips are positioned in overlapping horizontal courses across the roof.
Approximately 30cm Actual Coverage Depth
Each shingle provides approximately 30cm of actual vertical roof coverage once the required overlapping pattern has been taken into account.
This overlap is a fundamental part of shingle roofing.
Correct overlapping helps:
- Protect joints between rows
- Cover mechanical fixing positions
- Encourage rainwater to flow down the roof
- Create the distinctive layered appearance
- Improve weather resistance
Attractive Hexagonal Pattern
The hexagonal profile is one of the main visual advantages of this roofing product.
Once installed in overlapping courses, the lower edges form a repeating decorative pattern across the roof.
This gives sheds and garden structures a significantly more premium appearance than conventional roll roofing felt.
The hexagonal design is particularly suited to:
- Summerhouses
- Garden offices
- Log cabins
- Decorative sheds
- Chalets
- Garden studios
- Playhouses
Attractive Green Mineral Finish
The green surface provides a traditional garden-building appearance that complements natural timber particularly well.
Green roofing shingles can work attractively with:
- Natural wood
- Log cabins
- Brown timber stain
- Green-painted garden structures
- Rustic outbuildings
- Landscaped gardens
- Woodland surroundings
Using matching green ridge shingles at the roof apex can create a coordinated finished roofing system.
Reinforced Fibreglass Construction
These roofing shingles incorporate a fibreglass reinforced base.
Fibreglass offers a useful combination of:
- Strength
- Dimensional stability
- Lightweight construction
- Ease of handling
- Resistance to normal movement
This allows the shingles to provide a durable roof covering without placing the same structural load on a building as traditional clay, concrete or slate roofing materials.
Lightweight Alternative to Traditional Tiles
One of the major advantages of fibreglass shingles is their relatively low weight.
Traditional tiles and slates can require a substantial roof structure to support their load.
Fibreglass shingles are considerably lighter, making them particularly suitable for many timber garden buildings.
This can be beneficial for:
- Sheds
- Summerhouses
- Garden offices
- Log cabins
- Workshops
- Chalets
- Kennels
- Other lightweight structures
The supporting roof should still be correctly designed and structurally sound.
Peel-Off Adhesive Backing
The shingles feature a convenient peel-off adhesive backing.
The protective layer is removed during installation to expose the adhesive section beneath.
This can help:
- Position the shingle
- Reduce unwanted movement during installation
- Assist bonding
- Maintain alignment
- Create a neater finished roof
However, the peel-off backing should not be treated as a substitute for the specified mechanical fixing method.
Not an Adhesive-Only Roofing System
Although the shingles feature a peel-off backing, they should not simply be positioned on the roof and left relying only on the self-adhesive section.
Suitable galvanised Extra Large Head clout nails form an important part of the installation.
Depending on the installation specification, suitable bitumen bonding may also be required.
Correct fixing helps provide greater security against:
- Wind uplift
- Shingle movement
- Loose edges
- Weather exposure
Galvanised ELH Clout Nails
These shingles should be mechanically secured using galvanised Extra Large Head — ELH — clout nails.
The broad nail head helps spread fixing pressure over a larger area of the shingle, reducing the risk of the fixing pulling through the material.
Galvanised construction also provides improved corrosion resistance for exterior roofing applications.
Benefits include:
- Strong mechanical fixing
- Improved resistance to wind movement
- Broad fixing head
- Reduced pull-through risk
- Corrosion-resistant galvanised finish
Suitable Bitumen Bonding
The current fixing specification also refers to bituminous bonding as part of installation.
A compatible cold bitumen mastic or other specified bitumen bonding method may therefore be required alongside the mechanical fixings.
Always follow the appropriate installation instructions for the specific shingles and roof construction being used.
Where heat application is specified, appropriate competence and fire-safety precautions are essential.
Use Over a Suitable Roofing Underlay
Roofing shingles form the attractive outer weather-facing roof covering, but they should generally be installed over a suitable roofing underlay.
A correctly installed underlay provides an additional protective layer beneath the shingles.
Suitable roof preparation can help:
- Improve weather protection
- Provide secondary protection against leaks
- Protect the roof deck
- Create an appropriate base for shingles
- Improve long-term performance
Prepare the Roof Deck Properly
The roof deck should be:
- Structurally sound
- Clean
- Dry
- Smooth
- Firm
- Free from protruding nails
- Free from damaged timber
- Correctly prepared for the underlay and shingle system
Uneven or damaged roof decking can affect the finished appearance and performance of the shingles.
Ideal for Shed Roofs
These green hexagonal shingles are an excellent choice for upgrading a standard garden shed.
Compared with basic roll shed felt, shingles create a much more decorative and substantial appearance.
They are particularly suitable for:
- Apex sheds
- Storage sheds
- Tool sheds
- Large garden sheds
- Premium timber sheds
Ideal for Summerhouses
Summerhouses are one of the most popular applications for decorative roofing shingles.
The attractive green hexagonal pattern complements natural timber and can help transform the appearance of the whole building.
For a coordinated finish, pair the main shingles with matching green fibreglass ridge shingles.
Excellent for Garden Offices
Garden offices often benefit from a more premium roof finish than conventional shed felt.
Green fibreglass shingles provide a decorative tiled effect while remaining lightweight enough for suitable timber roof structures.
They are particularly attractive on:
- Garden offices
- Home studios
- Hobby rooms
- Garden rooms
- Work-from-home buildings
Suitable for Log Cabins
Green shingles are particularly effective on log cabins, where the natural timber and mineral-green roof create a traditional, high-quality appearance.
Their relatively lightweight construction also makes them more practical for many cabin roofs than heavy traditional tile systems.
Suitable for Chalets & Garden Buildings
Other potential applications include:
- Chalets
- Beach huts
- Playhouses
- Workshops
- Timber garages
- Kennels
- Garden stores
- Decorative outdoor buildings
Always ensure the structure, pitch and roof deck are appropriate for shingle installation.
Installation in Overlapping Courses
Roof shingles are normally installed from the lower part of the roof upwards.
Each new row overlaps the row beneath it.
This arrangement allows rainwater to run naturally:
from the ridge → over each shingle course → towards the eaves
rather than being directed underneath the roofing material.
Correct alignment is particularly important with hexagonal shingles because the repeating pattern should remain straight and consistent across the roof.
Stagger the Shingle Pattern
Successive rows should be positioned according to the required shingle pattern so joints do not simply line up vertically across the roof.
Correct staggering helps:
- Improve appearance
- Cover vulnerable joints
- Create the characteristic hexagonal pattern
- Improve weather protection
- Produce a professional finished roof
Start with a Straight First Course
A well-aligned first row is important because every later row follows it.
Before fixing:
- Establish a straight reference line
- Check the roof is square
- Position the first course carefully
- Confirm the overhang at the eaves
- Check alignment before permanently fixing
Taking additional time at the start can make the remainder of installation significantly easier.
Protect Shingle Fixings with the Overlap
Correct shingle installation positions fixings so that the next overlapping row helps cover them.
This creates a cleaner appearance while providing additional protection from direct weather exposure.
Avoid leaving unnecessary nails exposed across finished roof surfaces.
Complete the Roof with Matching Ridge Shingles
The main hexagonal shingles cover the roof slopes, but a separate detail is normally required at the apex.
Matching Green Reinforced Fibreglass Ridge Roofing Shingles are ideal for finishing the junction where the two roof slopes meet.
A complete system can therefore include:
- Roofing underlay
- Green hexagonal roofing shingles
- Green ridge shingles
- Galvanised ELH clout nails
- Compatible bitumen adhesive or mastic where required
This is an excellent internal-linking opportunity on the product page.
Ideal for New Roof Installations
Green Hexagonal Fibreglass Shingles are ideal for new garden buildings including:
- New sheds
- Summerhouses
- Garden offices
- Log cabins
- Workshops
- Chalets
- Playhouses
- Kennels
Planning the main shingles, ridge materials, underlay and fixings together helps avoid delays during installation.
Suitable for Replacement Roofing
These shingles can also be used when upgrading an appropriate existing roof.
They are an excellent choice when the customer wants to replace:
- Worn shed felt
- Damaged shingles
- Weathered roof coverings
- Unattractive old roofing
- Lightweight roof materials
The existing roof deck should be inspected carefully and repaired where required before the new system is installed.
Decorative & Weather-Resistant Finish
Roof shingles provide both an aesthetic and functional benefit.
The overlapping bituminous construction forms the external weather-facing surface, while the mineral finish creates the decorative appearance.
When installed correctly as part of a complete roofing system, shingles provide an attractive roof covering designed to protect the structure beneath from normal weather exposure.
Green Hexagonal vs 3-Tab Shingles
Felt Products also offers reinforced fibreglass shingles in a 3-tab square pattern.
The main difference is visual.
Hexagonal Shingles
- Decorative honeycomb-style lower edge
- Traditional shingle appearance
- Particularly attractive on summerhouses and cabins
3-Tab Square Shingles
- Straighter geometric appearance
- More rectangular tiled effect
- Suitable for contemporary and traditional buildings
Both can create an attractive lightweight roof; the choice is largely based on the desired appearance.
Green vs Other Shingle Colours
The Felt Products shingle range includes several colours, allowing customers to coordinate the roof with the building.
Green is particularly well suited to natural gardens and timber structures.
Other colours can offer alternative appearances for different building styles.
Creating separate SEO pages for each colour is useful because customers frequently search specifically for phrases such as:
- Green roofing shingles
- Black roofing shingles
- Red roofing shingles
- Grey roofing shingles
