Global Tech Roofing - Discover the Best Roofing Shingles for Durability and Style

Global Tech Roofing delivers complete roofing solutions across Nova Scotia, with a special focus on installing and repairing a wide array of shingle types. Our expertise covers asphalt, architectural, designer, metal, wood, and slate, all expertly chosen and installed to stand up to Nova Scotia's distinctive weather patterns.

Asphalt Shingles

Asphalt shingles are a favoured option because they offer great value and dependable performance. Constructed from a fiberglass or organic mat coated with asphalt and mineral granules, they provide excellent protection against the elements. These shingles are lightweight, which means quicker installation, and they come in a broad spectrum of colours and styles to perfectly complement any home's design. Plus, they provide resistance to wind and algae, contributing to a longer-lasting roof.

Architectural Shingles

Architectural shingles, also referred to as dimensional shingles, represent a step up from standard asphalt shingles. They feature multiple laminated layers, which add thickness, boost wind resistance, and create a more pronounced, textured appearance. These shingles offer a more substantial and visually appealing choice, typically lasting between 25 and 30 years.

Designer Shingles

Designer shingles are premium asphalt shingles crafted to beautifully replicate the look of natural materials like slate or cedar. They provide exceptional curb appeal and an extended service life, often surpassing 40 years. These shingles are engineered for superior impact resistance and enhanced colour stability, making them a truly durable and striking selection.

Metal, Wood, and Slate Shingles

Alternative materials such as metal, wood, and slate bring their own unique advantages:

• Metal Shingles: Crafted from galvanized steel or aluminum, metal shingles boast a lifespan of 50 to 70 years, offer excellent fire resistance, and provide cool-roof reflectivity.

• Wood Shingles: Made from cedar or redwood, wood shingles deliver natural beauty, valuable insulation, and a charming rustic character, with a lifespan of 20 to 30 years.

• Slate Shingles: Sourced from natural quarried stone, slate shingles are renowned for their minimal maintenance needs and prestigious appearance, offering an impressive lifespan of 75 to 100 years.
