Each package contains 500 individual shingles, delivering ample coverage for medium‑sized residential roofs or serving as a reliable stockpile for commercial maintenance teams. The product is certified for outdoor use, meeting industry standards for fire resistance and structural integrity. Detailed specifications include a color rendering index of 80, a voltage rating of 1.0 (suitable for integration with lighting accessories if required), and a global trade identification number (GTIN) of 00049821688004 for precise inventory tracking. The shingles are compatible with standard roofing underlayment and can be installed over a variety of substrates, including wood, metal decking, and concrete.

Usage

Designed for outdoor roofing applications, these aluminum flashing shingles excel in both new construction and retrofit scenarios. Homeowners seeking a durable, low‑maintenance roofing solution will find the 500‑pack ideal for covering roof valleys, eaves, and perimeter flashing where water infiltration is a primary concern. Commercial property managers can deploy the shingles in high‑traffic areas such as warehouse roofs, parking structures, and industrial facilities, where the combination of corrosion resistance and lightweight installation reduces downtime and maintenance costs.

The shingles are also suitable for specialty projects, including historic building restorations where preserving the original architectural profile is essential. Their mill‑colored finish can be painted or coated with additional protective layers without compromising the underlying aluminum’s performance, allowing for customization to match specific color schemes or branding requirements. Installation is straightforward: the rectangular shape aligns easily with standard roofing nails or screws, and the low profile ensures a tight seal when overlapped correctly, minimizing the risk of wind uplift.

FAQ

What is the recommended spacing between each shingle during installation?

For optimal water shedding and wind resistance, we recommend overlapping each shingle by approximately 2 inches horizontally and aligning the vertical seams with a 1‑inch offset. This spacing ensures a tight seal while allowing for thermal expansion.

Can the mill‑colored shingles be painted to match a specific roof color?

Yes, the aluminum surface can be painted with any high‑quality, exterior‑grade paint designed for metal applications. We suggest cleaning the surface with a mild detergent, applying a primer if needed, and then using a paint that offers UV protection for best results.

Are these shingles compatible with existing roofing underlayment?

Absolutely. The shingles are designed to work with standard roofing underlayment such as felt, synthetic membranes, and foam board. Ensure the underlayment is properly secured before installing the shingles to maintain overall roof integrity.

What warranty does AMERIMAX provide for this product?

AMERIMAX offers a limited warranty covering material defects and premature corrosion for a period of five years from the date of purchase. The warranty does not cover damage caused by improper installation, physical impact, or modifications.

How many shingles are needed to cover a typical 1,500‑square‑foot roof?

Each shingle covers approximately 0.5 square feet, so a 1,500‑square‑foot roof would require roughly 3,000 shingles. The 500‑pack provides a convenient bulk quantity, and additional packs can be ordered as needed to achieve full coverage.
