The Shingle Library wants to name your roof
A shingle-identification tool presents a workflow for matching a loose shingle by style, measurements, colour, and optional brand.
- For
- Homeowners identifying shingles for insurance reports
- Worth noticing
- The measurement form accepts 39 3/8, 39-3/8, or 39.375, with a stated ± 1/2-inch tolerance.
Field notes
The measurement instructions distinguish the shingle’s full length and height from its exposure—the portion visible on the roof—and accept several equivalent ways of entering a fraction. Search filters shown on the page include discontinued versus still-sold listings, picture availability, and documented production years. The interface also lists identification reports for insurance companies or homeowners, though the extracted page does not confirm which features work without sign-in.
