What is a "shingle"?
A shingle is a small, flat, rectangular piece of material, typically made of wood, asphalt, or metal, used to cover roofs or walls. Shingles are installed in overlapping rows to help protect the structure from weather, especially rain and snow. They are designed to shed water and provide a durable, weather-resistant surface. Shingles are commonly used for residential roofing due to their affordability, variety of materials, and ease of installation.
