These are designed to resemble traditional roofing materials like asphalt shingles, wood shakes, or slate. They offer a more textured and dimensional look, often providing a classic or historic appearance. Installed in smaller sections, like traditional shingles. They are often overlapped and interlocked, which can make installation more time-consuming but allows for easier replacement of individual shingles if needed.
