A complex, steep-pitched roof line is a distinguishing feature of most traditional rural homesteads, and this home is no exception. To create the right aesthetic, Nautica Homes and designer Mark Wilson specified Pabco Advantage shingles from Asphalt Shingle Company.

"We wanted a chunky look that would complement the solid masonry construction and heavy macrocarpa lintels," Wilson says. "These shingles have a sense of visual movement there are slight colour differences in each one. They also have the right thickness to create that rustic, shingle look."

Asphalt Shingle Company general manager Mark Dixon says the Pabco Advantage shingles are twice the thickness of standard shingles.

"The durability and lifetime of Asphalt Shingles are directly dependent on their thickness and weight the heavier the shingle the longer the life," he says.

The Asphalt Shingle Company imports, distributes and applies both Pabco and Emco fibreglass asphalt roofing shingles. Dixon says most asphalt shingles are one-third the weight of average concrete roofing tiles, and are particularly strong and durable.

"These shingles, which are laid over a 15mm-thick plywood base, are suitable for any climate, including harsh coastal locations. Asphalt shingles are also available in flat, sleek styles that complement streamlined contemporary homes," he says. "Both brands of shingle come in a choice of profiles and more than 20 different colours and styles."
