    Has anyone ever see a laminated three tab shingle? It is a standard three tab size with one laminated strip per tab. Do they still make anything like this? Thanks, trying to see if it can be matched.

    Is it a laminated strip or additional granules applied to mimic a laminate? There is a three tab that appears like a laminate from the ground.

    Out of production. Send in your estimate for replacement or get an Itel sample. They do roofs too.

    Your photos depict a commonly used shingle which IS still available.  It is not "3-tab"...rather is usually referred as architectural or dimensional.  Might be the Timberline brand, or Heritage, etc.  If you are using Xact, it's there rookie.

    I've got some pictures somewhere of a 4-tab laminate. Looks like 8 in slate, has a shadowin it, really pretty, really expensive.

    All of the architectural shingles I have seen are a solid 3’ piece with laminated pieces on top.  I have never seen one with the three tabs per shingle.  Thanks.

    Up here this is becoming the most common shingle and 3 tabs are almost never used anymore.

    The contractor could have done a better job of installing the roof in the picture. They were trying to make the materials stretch a bit further than best practice would warrant.

    I'm sure you're beyond this by now, but that actually appears to be a CertainTeed Horizon. It's a shingle that is not available any more. Horizon is a 3-Tab and a faux laminate, meaning it's not actually a laminate. It has a granule applique giving, it the look of a laminate (a faux laminate). Definitely not a GAF (Timberline), or a Tamko (Heritage). To my knowledge, CertainTeed is the only one that has done this style of shingle. The shingle itself actually looks in good condition compared to the ones I've seen.

    This appears to be a Certainteed Independence "Shangle" (Shangle is not mis-spelled. It is a laminated 3 tab which cost as much at the supply house as a designer shingle. This system requires special accessories and qualifies for: Laminated Deluxe Grade Comp. Shingle.
