Shingles are at the core of any new roof. But a complete new roof includes 4 additional components – ice & water barrier, underlayment, starter shingles, and hip & ridge shingles.
Installed together, the roof works better, which is why we extend greater warranty options if you use Malarkey products and a Malarkey Certified Contractor for installation.
Malarkey offers Architectural (the industry’s popular style) and Designer shingles, all made with our NEX® Polymer Modified (Rubberized) Asphalt, upcycled tires and plastic bags, and smog-reducing granules.
Architectural shingles are the most popular style in North America.
Designer shingles are the highest performing and most dimensional.
A new roof requires more than just shingles. It’s a cohesive, coordinated system of 5 components (in order of installation): 1) ice & water barrier, 2) underlayment, 3) starter shingles, 4) field (roofing) shingles, and 5) hip & ridge shingles. Installed together, the roof performs better.
We call the complete roof system, Secure Choice™.
Rubberized asphalt formulation delivers exceptional all-weather resilience, ‘bend, don’t break’ flexibility, and industry-leading impact resistance.
Recycled materials improve shingle strength and durability, while reducing landfill waste.
Rubberized adhesive bonds seal shingles to resist high winds, rain, and delamination.
Larger nailing area improves installation speed and accuracy to reduce risk of leaks.
Ceramic-coated granules add color vibrancy and defend against hail, scuffing, and UV aging.
Photocatalytic granules help actively clean the air of emission pollutants.
Copper-coated granules help reduce black streaks caused by algae growth.
