Asphalt architectural laminate shingles — the rich-coloured, textured shingles designed to look like wood, tile, and slate — are now being used on many homes in North America, thanks to their elegant look and feel. Whether you’re looking for English Tudor or French Provincial; shadow lines or scalloped edges; or practically any other shape imaginable, today’s architectural laminates are up to the task. Naturally they’re available in an impressive range of colours. And their performance in wind, rain, and snow is impressive, year after year.

This Marmoleum range introduces three new decorative designs — Marmoleum Vivace and Walton Fizz & Walton Wave — and continues to build on the strengths of our existing product lines Real, Fresco, Dual and Walton.
