Whether you're working on a modern architectural design or a historic structure, mastering the art of installing shingles on complex roof shapes can lead to impressive results.
Special roof details
Because of their flexibility, shingles are the ideal material for completing difficult roof constructions. From towers and domes to curved roofs and trapezium windows, shingles can be used on contemporary building designs as well as in sacral and monumental architecture. The ability to precisely cut them to fit unusual shapes often makes them the better alternative for detailed roofing.
The knowledge of the right techniques and the use of chalk lines are very important. With carefully executed preparation and correct calculation of the necessary chalk lines, it is often quite simple to cover the roofs over turrets, trapezium dormer windows, etc. with shingles.
Rounded, coned or turret type roofs are labor intensive due to the many cuts, joints and unique workmanship involved in these custom roof applications. Labor time and costs are approximately five times higher compared to a normal roof. In the case of a curved turret, the trick is to trim the shingles at an angle so the sides butt together smoothly.
