I am doing a simple 12/12 gable roof in Wisconsin on a modern home. The home design calls for a minimal look.
The budget doesn’t allow for a standing seam metal roof, which would have been the simplest look.
The owner likes the geometric/squared off look of “slateline” and 3-tab shingles, but wants a solid black color. The shingles can’t have that “splotchy” multi-tone look. Shingles like the camelot, timberline standard architectural, are too busy.
Any suggestions for manufacturer and color code of a shingle that would work for this? Quality solid black 3 tab or something like the slateline which is solid black?
When you say non-blended do you mean on the level of the granules where “charcoal” is really black and gray granules or do you mean the overall color scheme with random light patch areas?
Some architectural styles call for a design that is as simple looking as possible, where irregular textures and color variations would make the overall design busy. A plain black roof on a lot of designs would look too plain, on a modernist design it isn’t plain enough.
I have seen the Moire black but the color looks to vary between models with some examples looking patchy.
