shingled roof

Layered house top

A shingled roof is a roof covered with shingles—overlapping flat pieces of material laid in rows from the bottom edge upward.

Shingles may be asphalt, wood, slate, or tile.

The overlapping pattern channels water downward and off the roof: The old shingled roof needed replacing after the storm.
