Why Choose Tri-Laminate Shingles?

Superior Wind Resistance

Class H (150 MPH) wind rating makes these ideal for Florida's hurricane-prone climate. Triple-layer construction resists uplift.

Impact Resistant

Many tri-laminate options carry Class 4 impact resistance, the highest rating, protecting against hail and flying debris.

Extended Lifespan

The extra thickness and material means 30-50 year performance, outlasting standard shingles by decades.

Premium Aesthetics

Deep shadow lines and dimensional profiles create the look of natural slate or cedar shake at a fraction of the cost.

Insurance Benefits

Impact-resistant ratings may qualify for insurance premium discounts in many Florida counties.

Enhanced Warranty

Most manufacturers offer enhanced warranty coverage including labor for tri-laminate installations.
