Plastic Shingles Will Last For 50 Years

Plastic Shingles Will Last For 50 Years FARM HOME Building Techniques 19-6-35 "They look like cedar shakes but last much longer and require no maintenance," says Cliff Newman, distributor, about new plastic shingles that are advertised to last 50 years. They're designed to withstand temperatures ranging from 40? below zero to 190? F. "They're fire, wind and hail resistant and do not absorb water so snow slides off. They'll never rust, rot or chip like asphalt shingles, shakes or tiles. Plus, they're light-weight and you can walk on them," Newman says. The shingles come in 26-in. wide, 5-ft. long panels. They fit together easily by lining up pegs in the top of one section with holes in the bottom of the panel that's just been placed. They're available in timber shake, country slate, and clay tile patterns in various colors. Sell for $215 per square FOB.
