Dragon scale shingles, or Russian style 3-D diamond shingles, bring a dimensional flourish to any design. Similar to our diamond shingles, the system interlocks, each shingle boasting a raised base point. This dramatic detail offers more relief to the finish and higher design impact. Each shingle is diamond-shaped, made in either 90 or 72 degree angles, in a variety of sizes, metals and colors. Generally, they can be used on roof pitches of 4:12 and above. The base tip protrusion creates an impressive texture, like the scales on the back of a mystical dragon. When you envision a powerful, dynamic, gripping architectural design with ornate pieces, your blueprint begs you to choose this standout option.
