Asphalt shingles are the most popular residential roofing material in the United States. Asphalt shingles are widely available, easy to install, and inexpensive compared to most of the other materials. CertainTeed and Malarkey are two popular companies that manufacture asphalt shingles in the country. Malarkey offers asphalt shingles under the brand name of Malarkey while CertainTeed’s brand is known as Landmark. Here are the differences between Landmark and Malarkey shingles.
Landmark asphalt shingles are usually classified into three categories such as:
Strip Shingles –
This is a three-tab fiberglass based product available in three weights. The heavier the product, the longer the warranty is and the higher the price is.
Dimensional Shingles –
These products are also fiberglass-based. They come in a wide range of designs and colors and are laminated. These shingles have a much longer lifetime than the strip shingle. It’s almost a lifetime limited transferable warranty.
Premium Shingles –
These are also laminated architectural shingles that mimic traditional natural stale or shake shingles. These products offer advanced impact resistance and solar reflectivity. Premium shingles also come with a lifetime limited transferable warranty.
Malarkey asphalt shingles are also classified into three categories similar to CertainTeed.
ECOASIS Premium –
This is a solar reflective shingle available in one common style. It reduces your cooling costs by using reflective granules to reflect the sun’s rays. This product comes with a 50-year warranty.
Three-Tab Shingles –
These are fiberglass-based shingles that come in three weights similar to Landmark’s Strip shingles. The warranty and price of the product will increase as its weight increases.
High-Profile Laminate Shingles –
This product consists of three styles of laminated architectural shingles. It comes with a 30, 40, or 50-year limited warranty depending on the style. There is also a wind warranty that varies depending on the style you choose. Considering Installing Certainteed Landmark or Malarkey contact our roofing specialist to learn more
