There are two material options. Fine shingles are made of real wood veneer. Slightly sturdier ones are plywood cutouts. The veneer shingles also come in dark versions and in cherry. This is handy if you want to recreate an aged roof without staining it yourself. We also offer starter shingles for the beginning of each row. Shingle strips in packs of 5 help you cover larger areas faster.
The shapes are based on real roof shingles. You can choose semicircular beaver tail, Gothic shape, pointed, segmental, hexagonal and honeycomb shapes. There are also wave and zigzag shapes, hart's tongue, Rhön shape and Black Forest shape in left and right versions. Each item comes in different sizes and quantities. They suit everything from a small birdhouse to a large model house roof.
Typical uses are model houses, nativity scenes, dolls' houses and dioramas. Glue the shingles on row by row so they overlap. You can glaze or stain the light versions if you like. Mixing light and dark shingles gives you varied roof surfaces with a visible wood grain.
