In the roofing industry, contractors across the U.S. need materials that combine durability, performance, and professional appearance to stand up to any jobsite challenge.
That’s why so many turn to Titan XT® shingles, engineered by TAMKO, to meet the demands of tough weather, challenging installations, and discerning homeowners.
If your work ethic is strong, Titan XT® shingles are built to work just as hard.
Why Contractors Choose Titan XT® Shingles for High-Performance Roofing
For contractors who demand reliability and durability from their roofing materials, Titan XT® shingles are a top choice.
Engineered to withstand tough weather conditions and rigorous jobsite demands, Titan XT® shingles are becoming a contractor favorite roofing shingle.
If you’re looking for shingles that combine longevity with ease of installation, Titan XT® shingles deliver on all fronts.
Engineered for Strength and Durability
Titan XT® shingles are designed with TAMKO’s proprietary TriShield™ technology, which integrates advanced asphalt formulation, superior granule adhesion, and next-generation sealants.
This technology helps the shingles maintain integrity through extreme weather and temperature changes.
One key feature that contractors appreciate is the Titan XT® shingles’ pull through strength, the reinforced nail strip significantly improves shingle hold on the roof deck.
This is vital during installation and for long-term performance, especially in high-wind areas.
The Titan XT® shingles nail strip is engineered to resist tear-through better than many competing laminated asphalt shingles, helping to reduce callbacks and rework.
Superior Wind Resistance for Peace of Mind
Titan XT® shingles offer a 160 MPH extended wind warranty, backed by the use of TAMKO® starter and hip and ridge products.*
This level of high wind shingles protection means contractors can confidently recommend Titan XT® shingles in regions prone to strong storms and gusts.
The AnchorLock™ reinforcement layer works hand in hand with the nail strip to help keep shingles firmly secured, even during severe weather.
This combination is a significant reason why Titan XT® shingles are a preferred roofing shingle for those who want to deliver durable, reliable roofs to their clients.
Installation Efficiency That Contractors Value
Contractors also benefit from Titan XT® shingles’ thoughtful design that balances strength with ease of installation. The well-defined nail strip allows for consistent nailing placement, helping to speed up installation while allowing contractors to maintain code compliance.
This precision helps reduce waste and increases overall jobsite efficiency.
Because Titan XT® shingles are a premium laminated asphalt shingles product, they deliver a dimensional, attractive appearance that meets homeowner expectations without compromising contractor efficiency.
