What Are Malarkey Shingles?
Malarkey Roofing Products® has manufactured residential and commercial roofing products in the United States since 1956.
Malarkey is committed to providing homeowners and businesses with long-lasting, innovative, sustainable asphalt roofing shingles made with high-grade asphalt, recycled rubber, and plastic polymers that stand the test of time.
Why Choose Malarkey Shingles?
High-Quality Craftsmanship
Malarkey shingles are designed to withstand damage from rain, wind, and intense storms with precise installation. When compared to standard asphalt shingles, each shingle has double the number of laminate bonds and rain seals to prevent delamination and water damage, and each shingle’s nailing area is two times wider than the average asphalt shingle to reduce blow-offs and improve installation accuracy.
Superior Performance
Unlike traditional asphalt shingles, Malarkey shingles are made with rubberized asphalt for top-tier performance. Malarkey shingles have up to 35% greater tear strength and 65% greater granule adhesion than the industry average and up to a Class 4 impact rating—the highest rating possible—to resist damage from wind and hail.
Eco-Friendly Products
While many roofing products leave a negative carbon footprint, did you know a Malarkey roof is actually good for the environment?
Each Malarkey roof reduces landfill waste by incorporating an average of five recycled tires and 3,200 recycled plastic bags into its design, and many of Malarkey’s sustainable roofs are made with smog-reducing granules to help clean the air.
Reliable Warranties
All Malarkey shingles come with an excellent warranty, so you can rest assured your roof will be taken care of in the (unlikely!) event of an emergency.
All Malarkey warranties include limited lifetime coverage for manufacturing defects and a non-prorated period of 10–50 years. Malarkey’s shingles also come with wind and algae warranties, with coverage parameters depending on your warranty eligibility.
What Are the Different Types of Malarkey Shingles?
Highlander Architectural Shingles
Highlander® asphalt shingles are designed in the popular architectural style to provide added roof dimension and curb appeal to your exterior. They also come in several beautiful, natural-looking colors to easily match your home’s look. These shingles are priced to accommodate all budgets without sacrificing durability—they have a Class 3 hail impact rating, a Class A fire rating, and a 130-mph wind warranty.
Vista Architectural Shingles
Vista® architectural shingles are Malarkey’s most popular roofing product. While their style and color options are similar to those of Highlander shingles, Vista shingles are slightly thicker to provide better impact resistance and more reliable weather performance in extreme weather conditions, such as wind-driven rain or snow.
Legacy Scotchgard Architectural Shingles
For the industry’s strongest, thickest, and most durable architectural shingle, choose Legacy® Scotchgard™ by Malarkey. These shingles offer Malarkey’s maximum performance, with 35% greater tear strength and 65% better granule adhesion than the industry standard. They also have a Class 4 impact resistance rating and a 130-mph enhanced wind warranty.
Ecoasis Architectural Shingles
If you’re looking for a roofing product that will reflect the sun’s rays and keep your home cool, look no further than Malarkey’s Ecoasis® shingles. These shingles have the same beautiful architectural design and high-performance features as the Highlander shingles but also include granules that help to keep your roof cool (while cleaning the air!).
Windsor Scotchgard Designer Shingles
Windsor® Scotchgard shingles are Malarkey’s only designer shingles. Designer shingles, like architectural shingles, are formulated with a dual-layer construction, but are also formed in a cedar shake pattern for an extra dose of stunning curb appeal. Though Windsor Scotchgard shingles are more expensive than Malarkey’s other shingles lines, they’re also the strongest, most sustainable, and highest-performance shingles available.
