Pride of place

Achieving your dream home is a multi-faceted undertaking, with every window, door and wall contributing to the overall look. One of the most important aspects to address is your roof this should provide the crowning feature on your new home and protect your asset in all weathers.

When Cardinal Homes planned this substantial hilltop home, the company specified an asphalt shingle roof from the Asphalt Shingle Company, says managing director Michael McNie.

"These roofs have long been popular in the United States and have grown from an interesting fad into a popular roofing choice here," he says. "Asphalt shingle roofs are easily installed, and offer a strong, contemporary appearance."

The Asphalt Shingle Company imports, distributes and applies Pabco and Harmony asphalt roofing shingles, with the Pabco range in particularly high demand, says McNie.

"Asphalt shingles are one-third the weight of average concrete roofing tiles, and are extremely rugged and durable. They are suitable for any climate, including extreme coastal conditions."
