Katepal Ambient Bitumen Roofing Shingles

Katepal Ambient Bitumen Roofing Shingles

Katepal Ambient Bitumen Roofing Shingles offer a distinctive and stylish roofing solution designed to deliver both performance and visual appeal. Unlike traditional roofing shingles, the Ambient range features a unique shape exclusive to Katepal, giving roofs a striking and elegant finish. The carefully blended colours are inspired by natural earth and spice tones, helping create a warm and attractive appearance that complements a wide range of building styles. Each pack of Katepal Ambient shingles provides 2.18m² of roof coverage and weighs 25.5kg, making them practical to transport and handle on-site. Measuring 1.00m in length and 0.34m in width, these shingles are engineered to provide reliable coverage while maintaining a refined, decorative finish across the roof. Manufactured using SBS-modified bitumen, Katepal Ambient shingles offer outstanding durability and flexibility. This advanced material ensures the shingles remain elastic even in cold temperatures, reducing the risk of cracking or damage during installation or harsh weather conditions. The strong structure also provides excellent tear resistance and ensures the protective granules remain securely adhered, maintaining the roof’s appearance and performance for years to come. Another major benefit of Katepal shingles is their quiet performance. Unlike some roofing materials, these shingles absorb sound effectively, helping reduce noise from rain or external elements. Combined with their flexibility and ease of handling, they are a popular choice for both professional roofers and DIY installers looking for a dependable roofing solution.

This dual installation method provides strong adhesion while ensuring a secure and long-lasting roofing system. For optimal performance, these shingles require a minimum roof pitch of 12°, making them suitable for a wide variety of residential and light commercial roofing projects. Their flexible construction makes them easy to cut, position, and fix in place, helping speed up installation time while maintaining a professional finish.

Roof Tiles & Fittings:

We recommend ordering an additional 10% of roof tiles to allow for any breakages that may occur during delivery or handling. Roof tiles are naturally fragile, and having a few extra on site helps prevent delays and ensures your roofing project can be completed without interruption.
