If you're considering a new roof or a replacement, here's why Landmark shingles are worth your attention.

What Are CertainTeed Landmark Shingles?

CertainTeed Landmark shingles are a high-quality asphalt architectural shingle, engineered to mimic the look of cedar shake roofing. They are part of CertainTeed’s broader line of residential roofing products and are known for their multi-layer design, rich color palettes, and superior weather resistance.

Key Benefits of Landmark Shingles

1. Proven Durability

Landmark shingles are constructed with dual-layer fiberglass asphalt, giving them added thickness and strength. They’re built to withstand:

  • Harsh wind (up to 110 mph standard, with upgrades available to 130 mph)

  • Torrential rain

  • Snow and ice

  • UV rays that can degrade other materials over time

2. Wide Range of Colors

With dozens of color options—from classic Moire Black to bold Burnt Sienna—Landmark shingles offer exceptional aesthetic flexibility. The layered construction creates dimension and depth, adding visual appeal that boosts your home’s curb value.

3. Strong Warranty Protection

CertainTeed backs Landmark shingles with a Limited Lifetime Warranty, giving homeowners long-term confidence. When installed by a CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster™, you may also qualify for upgraded warranties that cover workmanship in addition to materials.

4. StreakFighter® Algae Resistance

Algae can be a real issue in humid or wooded areas, leaving unsightly black streaks on your roof. Landmark shingles include StreakFighter® technology, which uses copper-infused granules to resist algae growth and keep your roof looking clean.

5. Eco-Friendly Manufacturing

CertainTeed is committed to sustainable practices. Landmark shingles are produced with an eye toward reducing waste and emissions, making them a more eco-conscious option for homeowners who care about environmental impact.

Landmark Pro vs. Landmark: What's the Difference?

While standard Landmark shingles provide excellent performance, CertainTeed also offers Landmark Pro, which features:

  • A heavier base mat for enhanced durability

  • Higher granule adhesion

  • More intense Max Def color options for bolder curb appeal

If you’re looking for a long-term investment or want a more striking look, Landmark Pro is a premium upgrade.

Final Thoughts

Tilcor CF Shingle: The Metal Roof That Looks Like Asphalt, But Performs Like Steel

When homeowners think of metal roofing, many picture standing seam panels or corrugated steel. But what if you could get the classic look of asphalt shingles with the strength and durability of stone-coated steel? That’s exactly what Tilcor CF Shingle delivers—making it one of the most innovative and attractive roofing options on the market today.

If you're in the market for a new roof, here's why the Tilcor CF Shingle system deserves a spot at the top of your list.

What is Tilcor CF Shingle?

Tilcor CF (Concealed Fastening) Shingle is a stone-coated steel roofing product that mimics the appearance of traditional asphalt shingles while delivering superior performance. Manufactured in New Zealand by Tilcor Roofing Systems, these panels combine rugged galvanized steel, an acrylic basecoat, and a stone-chip finish for a roof that’s built to last—without compromising on curb appeal.

Key Features and Benefits

1. Concealed Fastening System

One of the most impressive innovations of the Tilcor CF Shingle is its Concealed Fastening system. Unlike traditional roofing systems that use exposed nails or screws, the CF design hides all fasteners beneath the panels. This means:

  • No risk of leaks around fasteners

  • A cleaner, more seamless appearance

  • Better long-term protection against wind and water intrusion

2. Lightweight but Incredibly Strong

Tilcor CF Shingles weigh just a fraction of traditional asphalt or tile—around 1.5 pounds per square foot. This makes them an ideal solution for re-roofing projects or for homes that can’t support the weight of heavier roofing materials. Despite being light, the steel core offers exceptional resistance to impact, wind, and fire.

3. Superior Weather Resistance

These shingles are engineered to stand up to:

  • High winds (rated up to 120+ mph)

  • Heavy rain and snow

  • Class 4 impact resistance (hail-rated)

  • Fire (Class A fire rating when installed with proper underlayment)

Whether you're in a hurricane-prone zone, a snowy climate, or anywhere in between, Tilcor CF provides a roof you can trust.

4. Long-Term Value and Warranty

Tilcor backs its CF Shingles with a 50-year transferable warranty, giving homeowners long-term peace of mind. Thanks to the durability of metal and the low maintenance requirements, this roofing system offers outstanding lifetime value compared to traditional shingles that may need replacement every 15–25 years.

5. Sustainable and Eco-Friendly

Tilcor CF Shingles are made from recyclable steel and require fewer raw materials than asphalt or concrete. Their long lifespan and energy-efficient coating (reflective stone chip technology) also help reduce your environmental impact and cooling costs.

Aesthetics: Traditional Look, Modern Tech

The beauty of Tilcor CF Shingles lies in their traditional profile. They’re designed to blend seamlessly with residential neighborhoods where homeowners want the look of a shingle roof without sacrificing strength or performance. Available in a range of natural, earth-toned colors, these panels enhance any home style—from craftsman to colonial.

Is Tilcor CF Shingle Right for You?

If you're a homeowner who wants:

  • The look of asphalt shingles

  • The durability of metal

  • A low-maintenance, long-lasting roofing solution

Then Tilcor CF Shingle could be the perfect fit. It's especially well-suited for homeowners replacing an aging shingle roof who want to upgrade to something that lasts twice as long without twice the hassle.

Final Thoughts

Tilcor CF Shingle is redefining what homeowners can expect from roofing materials—offering style, strength, and innovation in one package. Whether you’re re-roofing or building new, choosing a Tilcor stone-coated steel system means investing in a product that performs just as good as it looks.
