Introducing Malarkeys New Windsor "Presidential" Style Roofing Shingle

Meet The Windsor Roofing Shingle, Defining Excellence

Picture
The Malarkey roofing shingle has long been toted one of the highest quality roofing shingles on the market today. Its hard to compete with the SBS technology that makes their shingles flexible, durable and easy to install. Other features that have attracted the architectural community and won the favor of most municipalities in the Pacific North West are the patented nail line and the 3M Scotchguard protection. Now Malarkey has taken the next step in their roofing shingle evolution with the recent release of the Windsor heavyweight roofing shingle. 

About The Windsor 
The Windsor roofing shingle is designed uniquely to fit into what most consumers know as the "presidential" shingle profile. It has a saw tooth look that gives it an authentic wood shake look. I recently had the opportunity to visit the Malarkey manufacturing plant in Portland, Oregon and learned the history of the company and the new shingle line. The Windsor is a project that has been in Malarkey's pipeline for many years. They feel that now is the perfect time to release the shingle into the market. 

Dont Miss The Official Unveiling  May 7th In Sumner, WA
The Malarkey Windsor is being introduced into the marketing at a co-sponsored event on May 7th at MacArthur roofing distribution in Sumner, WA. This event will feature the new shingle as well as draw the best installers in the region to take part in Malarkey's "Top Gun" fastest shingle nailing contest. For more information call 253-863-8860. 


The Process of Perfection
It was interesting to discover that in order to make sure the new roofing shingle was perfected for both aesthetic appeal, performance and installation Malarkey sought out the assistance of half-a-dozen roofing contractors from around the Nation that specialize in installing heavy weight shingles. Each group had the opportunity to install the shingle and note both the qualities and short comings of the new shingle. After all the contractors had reviewed the single it was revised until every technical point was perfected. As a result of this process Malarkey ended up with a shingle that is sure to make waves in the premium designer market in 2014. Lets take a look at some of the benefits of the Windsor for both the contractors and consumers.

Malarkey Scotchgard Logo
Innovating with Scotchgard protection from 3M protecting your shingles from algae, discoloration and premature de-granulation.
Malarkey Class 4 Logo
Class 4 extreme weather protection meeting UL2218 class 4 impact rating, the highest rating possible in the roofing industry.
Malarkey SBS Modified Logo
SBS modified "rubberized" asphalt shingle offering superior performance and granule retention, easy cutting and resistant to cracking.
Malarkey-WIndsor-Shigle
Easier roofing contractor application. The Windsor is engineered for the roofing contractor & can be installed up to 33% faster than competitors like shingle with 1/3 larger coverage rate.
Malarkey-Windsor-Cold-Weather-Application
The Windsor sets itself apart from other presidential style shingles with its cold weather flexibility. With the SBS content it can be installed in temperatures as low as 0 degrees F or 18 degrees C.
Watch The Pros Install The Malarkey Shingle
The Windsor is not only easy on the eyes its also easy to install! It's designed to install from right to left or left to right. It cuts very easy and has alignment notches that make it easy to follow the installation pattern. Check out the install video below and get ahead of the market!

More information about the Windsor will be released soon by Malarkey. In my opinion this shingle will set the standard for presidential style roofing shingles in the market. What do you think?
