Reinforced Fibreglass Construction
These shingles use a glass fibre reinforced bitumen construction, providing strength and dimensional stability while remaining lightweight and straightforward to install.
Fibreglass roofing shingles are particularly well suited to timber garden buildings because they provide a decorative roof finish without placing the significant additional weight associated with clay, concrete or natural slate tiles onto the roof structure.
For customers searching for black fibreglass roofing shingles, 3-tab shed shingles, square roofing shingles or decorative shed roofing, this product provides an excellent balance of appearance, durability and practicality.
Attractive Black Mineral Finish
The exposed surface has a smart black mineral finish, creating a clean and professional appearance across the completed roof.
Black is an extremely versatile roofing colour and works particularly well with:
- Garden sheds
- Summerhouses
- Log cabins
- Garden offices
- Garden rooms
- Workshops
- Chalets
- Playhouses
- Beach huts
- Timber outbuildings
- Dog kennels
- Storage buildings
The dark mineral surface can complement both natural timber and painted finishes, making these shingles suitable for a wide range of garden building styles.
Classic 3-Tab Square Design
The 3-tab design is one of the most recognisable styles of roofing shingle.
Once adjoining courses are correctly overlapped, each shingle strip creates three visible square or rectangular sections, resulting in an attractive tiled pattern across the roof.
Compared with hexagonal shingles, the 3-tab design provides a straighter, more uniform appearance that can suit both traditional and contemporary buildings.
3m² Coverage Per Pack
Each pack provides approximately 3 square metres of finished roof coverage when installed with the appropriate overlaps.
When calculating the number of packs required for your roof, measure the complete roof area and remember to allow extra material for:
- Shingle overlaps
- Cutting
- Roof pitch
- Eaves
- Verges
- Ridge details
- Waste
For larger sheds, workshops or summerhouses, multiple packs can be combined to provide the required coverage.
Ideal Alternative to Standard Shed Roofing Felt
Traditional roll shed felt provides an effective and economical roof covering, but fibreglass roofing shingles offer a significantly more decorative appearance.
The overlapping 3-tab design gives the roof the visual appearance of individual tiles while retaining the lightweight characteristics required for many timber garden buildings.
This makes black roofing shingles particularly attractive for premium buildings such as:
- Summerhouses
- Garden offices
- Garden rooms
- Log cabins
- High-quality sheds
- Workshops
- Decorative timber buildings
Lightweight Roofing Solution
A major advantage of fibreglass shingles is their relatively lightweight construction.
Compared with traditional tiles and slates, the individual shingle strips are easier to:
- Transport
- Carry onto the roof
- Position
- Cut
- Align
- Overlap
- Secure into place
This makes them suitable for both professional tradespeople and competent DIY installers working on smaller garden building roofs.
Weather-Resistant Decorative Roof Covering
Black 3-Tab Fibreglass Roofing Shingles combine decorative styling with practical weather protection.
Correctly installed overlapping courses help create a durable external covering while the mineral-finished surface provides the attractive exposed roof finish.
For maximum performance, the shingles should form part of a correctly installed roofing system incorporating a suitable roof deck, roofing underlay and appropriate fixings.
Install Over a Suitable Roofing Underlay
Roofing shingles are intended to form the outer decorative layer of the roof and should be installed over a suitable roofing underlay.
The underlay provides an additional layer of waterproof protection beneath the shingles and forms an important part of the complete roof construction.
A typical shingle roofing system may include:
- Clean and structurally sound timber roof deck
- Suitable roofing felt underlay
- Black 3-Tab Square Fibreglass Roofing Shingles
- Matching black ridge shingles
- Suitable bitumen roofing adhesive or mastic
- Galvanised Extra Large Head clout nails
Using compatible components helps create a stronger, neater and more dependable finished roof.
Secure Mechanical Fixing
Correct fixing is important for ensuring the shingles remain securely attached during changing weather conditions.
Suitable galvanised Extra Large Head clout nails provide a strong mechanical fixing while the large nail head helps spread the fixing load across the surface of the shingle.
Galvanised fixings also provide improved resistance to corrosion for long-term external use.
A suitable cold bitumen mastic or roofing adhesive can also be incorporated into the installation where required.
Roofing Shingle Installation
For a professional finished result:
- Ensure the roof deck is clean, dry and structurally sound
- Install a suitable roofing felt underlay
- Begin laying shingles from the bottom edge of the roof
- Position the first course carefully and evenly
- Maintain the correct overlap between adjoining courses
- Stagger joints to create the proper 3-tab pattern
- Secure with suitable galvanised Extra Large Head clout nails
- Use appropriate bitumen roofing adhesive or mastic where required
- Carefully finish eaves and verge details
- Complete the roof apex with suitable ridge shingles
Correct alignment and consistent overlaps are important for achieving both effective weather protection and an attractive roof finish.
Use with Matching Black Ridge Shingles
For a complete roofing system, these Black 3-Tab Shingles can be combined with Black Reinforced Fibreglass Ridge Roofing Shingles.
Ridge shingles are designed specifically to cover and protect the apex where two roof slopes meet.
Using matching black ridge pieces creates a consistent colour and appearance across the complete roof while providing a professional finish at one of the roof’s most exposed areas.
