A Partnership for Premium Pacific Northwest Roofing

The Pacific Northwest is famous for its stunning landscapes. In Abbotsford, British Columbia, homes require roofing solutions that offer unparalleled protection. However, these solutions should not sacrifice aesthetic appeal. Malarkey Roofing Products is proud to spotlight a recently completed residential project. For this installation, our premium shingles blended high-performance durability with a luxury design, and roofing contractor Akay Roofing Ltd. completed this exceptional work.

Based in Surrey, BC, Akay Roofing is known for quality craftsmanship. They utilize materials that stand up to the region’s challenging weather cycles. Specifically, they wanted to deliver a roof with maximum weather resistance. The roof also needed to enhance curb appeal for decades. Windsor® Scotchgard™ shingles were an ideal fit. The system was completed with Smart Start® starter shingles and EZ-Ridge® hip and ridge shingles. Lastly, all materials were acquired at QXO’s Surrey branch. 

Achieving the Cedar Shake Look with Style

The Windsor Scotchgard line is Malarkey’s designer solution for homeowners, as it provides the deep, dimensional look of traditional cedar shakes, yet maintains the resilience of an asphalt shingle. Additionally, these shingles are designed for a distinct, high-profile appearance. As a result, they deliver an aesthetic impact that elevates any residence. For this project, Akay Roofing installed approximately 70 squares of roofing shingles and transformed the home with a solid investment in lasting protection.

The chosen color blend, Heather, provides a sophisticated, multi-toned gray blend that complements a wide array of exterior finishes. In addition, the variation in tones adds depth and character. This ensures the roof looks dynamic as daylight changes. Therefore, the selection seamlessly integrates with the natural BC environment and offers a timeless finish that will remain popular for years to come.

Advanced Defense with 3M™ Scotchgard™ Protector Technology

Beyond the striking looks, the true power of the Windsor shingle lies in its technology. Superior technology is a core tenet of the Malarkey brand philosophy. For instance, each shingle is fortified with industry-leading 3M Scotchgard Protector, an integration of copper roofing granules designed to resist black streaks caused by algae growth. Thus, it maintains the stunning integrity of the Heather color, and for homeowners in humid areas, this is an essential defense. It prevents premature discoloration year after year.

Furthermore, Malarkey’s commitment to sustainability is inherent in the Windsor line. These shingles are engineered with our proprietary NEX polymer-modified asphalt, a material that provides enhanced flexibility and strength. Because of this, the shingles are better suited to resist wind damage and hail impact, factors critical in unpredictable climates. This combination also contributes to exceptional granule adhesion. Ultimately, this helps keep granules on the roof longer to protect your home.
