Virginia Slate is one of TAMKO's asphalt shingle colors, a dark slate-toned blend intended to read like quarried stone on a sloped roof. TAMKO describes the color as a jet-black base accented with lighter tones for added dimension.

Asphalt shingles of this class are built on a fiberglass mat saturated and coated with asphalt, then surfaced with ceramic-coated mineral granules that carry the color and shield the asphalt from UV. They are installed in courses over a solid deck with underlayment beneath, nailed through the designated nailing zone, and rely on factory-applied sealant strips that bond under sun and heat to resist wind uplift.

Shingles are packaged and sold by the bundle, with multiple bundles making up the coverage for a given roof area. Ordering all bundles from the same production run keeps granule blend and shading consistent across the field, and a common practice is to mix courses from several bundles during installation to avoid visible banding.

Key Features

• Dark slate color blend described by the manufacturer as a jet-black base accented with subtle lighter tones for dimension
• Fiberglass-mat asphalt construction surfaced with ceramic-coated mineral granules that carry the color and protect the asphalt from UV exposure
• Factory-applied self-sealing adhesive strip that bonds course to course in warm weather to resist wind uplift
• Nailed installation over a solid sheathed deck with underlayment, using the manufacturer's marked nailing zone
• Cut and fitted with a roofing knife and hook blade, so valleys, hips, rakes and penetrations are worked on site without special tooling
• Packaged in bundles for handling and loading onto the roof deck
• Color available across TAMKO shingle lines, so field shingles can be coordinated with matching hip and ridge accessories
