Singles (roofing item)
Singles are thin, flat pieces of roofing material that are used to cover the surface of a roof. They are typically made of asphalt or fiberglass and are designed to be water-resistant and long-lasting. Singles are usually installed in a layered system, with a base layer of felt or underlayment followed by the singles and a top layer of flashing or cap sheets. There are several types of singles, including 3-tab singles, which are the most basic and economical type, and architectural singles, which have a more textured or dimensional appearance and are more expensive. Singles are often used on residential and commercial roofs, and are suitable for a variety of roof slopes and pitches. Singles are easy to install and maintain, and are a popular choice for many property owners due to their durability and cost-effectiveness. They are also available in a range of colors, allowing property owners to choose a shade that complements the overall appearance of their building.
