CertainTeed Presidential shingles, explained
When people search for “Presidential shingles,” “CT Presidential” or a “Presidential shake roof,” they mean CertainTeed’s Presidential family: the heaviest-looking asphalt shingles CertainTeed makes. They are designed to look like a cedar shake roof from the curb, with none of the rot, splitting or fire risk of real wood.
The three Presidential lines
- Presidential Shake — the core luxury line on this page, with deep, irregular tabs and a shake profile.
- Presidential Shake TL — triple-laminate construction for the thickest, most dimensional look.
- Presidential Shake IR — the impact-resistant version, rated UL 2218 Class 4, worth a look in hail country.
Presidential vs. Landmark
CertainTeed Landmark and Landmark PRO are dimensional architectural shingles — the most common choice on Midwest homes. Presidential is the step up when you want the look of a cedar shake roof in an asphalt shingle. The best way to decide is to see both against your brick or siding, so we bring full-size samples to the estimate.
