Product overview

3-Tab Roofing for Repeatable Project Takeoffs

This single-layer asphalt shingle uses a fiberglass mat within the asphalt coating and a colored mineral-granule face. Three evenly cut tabs create a consistent course pattern. It is intended for exposed pitched roofs when combined with the correct deck, underlayment, starter, fixing and flashing details.

For procurement, first compare the 1000 × 333 mm strip, nominal 2.6 mm thickness and 21-strip bundle against the roof design. At an exposure of approximately 148 mm, the reference bundle covers about 3.1 m²; ridge, valley and cutting waste require a separate allowance. The proposed supply should be matched to the destination’s wind and fire documentation requirements rather than treating an individual shingle as a complete rated roof assembly.

Applications

Standard Pitched Housing

A regular three-tab appearance for villas, residential developments and light-building roof packages.

Reroofing Procurement

Match the existing roof geometry and local fixing requirements before calculating replacement quantities.

Distributor Programs

Quote by color, bundle count, pallet plan and destination for repeat wholesale orders.

Complex Roof Details

Coordinate separate starter, valley, hip and ridge details for roofs with penetrations or multiple slopes.

Key benefits

Defined Single-Layer Profile

The three-tab cut creates an even course pattern and is distinct from thicker laminated or shaped shingle designs.

Visible Mineral Finish

The exposed granule surface supplies the roof color and protects the asphalt coating from direct sunlight.

Practical Coverage Planning

Strip size, exposure and bundle area help buyers compare takeoffs and freight across quotations.

Project-Matched Roof System

Fastening, wind exposure, fire classification and underlayment must match the complete assembly required at the destination.

Confirm the Roof Design

Check roof pitch, local code, deck type, climate exposure and the specified shingle system before ordering.

Prepare Deck and Underlayment

Use a sound, clean and dry deck; lay the specified underlayment and eave or valley protection.

Start at the Eaves

Install the compatible starter course and set the first shingle row to the planned exposure and alignment.

Fix and Stagger Courses

Follow the approved nail and joint-offset pattern for the roof pitch and wind zone; finish flashings, valleys, hips and ridges with compatible system details.

Packaging & OEM

Bundle Reference

Plan around 21 strips, about 3.1 m² installed coverage and 27 ± 1 kg per bundle for the quoted configuration.

Quantity Takeoff

Send roof area, pitch, plan complexity and waste allowance to calculate a project bundle count.

Color and Sample

Approve a physical granule-color sample; screen and printed colors may vary from production batches.

Export Quote

State destination, requested color, bundle volume, pallet requirements and project standard in the RFQ.

Frequently asked questions

How much roof area does one bundle of 3-tab shingles cover?
The 21-strip reference bundle covers approximately 3.1 m² at about 148 mm exposure. Add an allowance for cutting, roof geometry and detail waste when ordering.
How are 3-tab shingles different from laminated shingles?
A 3-tab strip is single-layer with three regular cutouts, giving a flatter repeated pattern. Laminated shingles use layered profiles for a more dimensional appearance; compare the offered bundle mass and coverage separately.
Can this roof be specified for a high-wind or fire-rated project?
Provide the destination code, roof slope and required classification. We will match the proposed shingle, fasteners, underlayment and assembly documentation to that requirement before specification.
What should a wholesale quotation request include?
Send the color or sample reference, roof area or bundle quantity, project location, roof pitch, required test documents, packaging needs and destination port.
