3 TAB SHINGLES

Combining high-grade asphalt with synthetic and upcycled rubber and plastic polymers, NEX Polymer Modified (Rubberized) Asphalt rubberizes the asphalt core of the shingle for greater all-weather resilience, impact resistance, and granule adhesion and longer product life.

Architectural shingles have up to 10% greater tear strength and 65% greater granule retention than the industry standard (ASTM D3465) and carry a Class 2 hail impact rating.

Recycled content can sometimes diminish product quality. Not so with our shingles. Polymers from upcycled tires and plastic bags are added to our asphalt formulation to improve shingle strength and durability, while reducing landfill waste - extending product life and landfill life.

Each average-sized roof of Architectural shingles diverts the equivalent of ~4 tires and ~2,900 plastic bags from the landfill.

Six bonds (3 laminate, 2 rain, 1 wind) of synthetic rubber adhesive resist dry-out and deliver extreme protection from high-winds, wind-driven rain, and shingle delamination.

Architectural shingles have up to 50% more adhesive bonds and twice the rain seals of standard shingles.

It takes over 7000 nails to install a roof. Even one out of place can lead to leaks or void a wind warranty. The Zone , our patented larger nailing area, improves installation speed and accuracy by providing a bigger nailing target, and longer shingle backing, to help ensure that every nail hits and penetrates both shingle layers for maximum protection against shingle uplift and blow-off, as well as leaks from troughing and ice damming.

The Zone is up to 2X larger than the nailing area on standard shingles.

Ceramic-coated 3M Roofing Granules add lasting color vibrancy, while our NEX asphalt technology dramatically enhances granule retention - the shingle's primary defense against hail, scuffing, and the aging effects of UV sunlight.

Architectural shingles have up to 65% greater granule retention than the industry standard specification (ASTM D3462).

3M Smog-Reducing Granules, which blend inconspicuously into the shingle's color, harness sunlight to photocatalytically convert dangerous smog gases like nitrogen dioxide (NO2) into water-soluble salt ions that rinse off the roof with rainwater, actively cleaning the air of these emission-based pollutants.

Each average-sized roof of Architectural shingles helps fight smog air pollution the equivalent of planting ~2 trees.

Algae-resistant 3M Copper Granules blend inconspicuously into the shingle's color and help prevent unsightly black streaks caused by algae growth.

Legacy Scotchgard shingles feature Scotchgard Protector which utilizes at least 10% 3M Copper Granules, and come with a limited lifetime algae warranty.

When solar energy hits the roof surface and is absorbed, it raises the temperature of the shingles. This can lead to heat entering the home as well as premature aging of the shingle itself.

Certain shingle colors are more solar reflective than others, and they are assigned an SRI (Solar Reflective Index) rating by the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC). Shingles with an SRI of at least 16 can be used to comply with California Energy Code (CEC) Title 24, Part 6 Cool Roof Requirements. SRIs of 20 and above also meet LA County requirements.

At Malarkey, we strive to make shingles that don't need warranties, but just in case, we offer standard and extended shingle warranties, or our innovative 'Your Choice' warranty where we'll match a competitor's standard warranty.

Standard Warranty

Roofs work better when the parts work together. A complete new roof requires 5 components - shingles, underlayment, ice & water barrier, starter shingles, and hip & ridge shingles.

If your roof is installed by a Malarkey Certified Contractor, who also uses the above Malarkey accessories as a part of a complete roof system, your roof is eligible for extended warranty coverage.
