What makes Landmark TL different from every other shingle in the Landmark line?

Three words: triple-layer construction.

Most architectural shingles use two laminated layers. That’s enough for dimensional appearance and adequate durability. Landmark TL goes further with three full layers of material bonded together.

The result is substantially thicker, heavier, and more durable than standard options.

Three-Layer Performance Design

Landmark TL’s three laminated layers use the industry’s most durable materials to create dramatically thick roofing products. This construction method produces shingles substantially heavier and more substantial than standard two-layer architectural shingles.

The triple-layer design creates authentic wood shake dimensionality. Each shingle features varied thickness and natural shadow lines that replicate hand-split cedar without the vulnerabilities of real wood.

The additional material mass provides enhanced protection against weather extremes. More layers mean more barrier between your home and Long Island’s challenging climate conditions.

Installation thickness approaches that of actual wood shakes while maintaining asphalt roofing advantages. Homeowners enjoy luxury aesthetics without wood’s susceptibility to rot, decay, fire, or insect damage.

Enhanced Durability and Impact Resistance

Triple-laminate construction delivers superior impact resistance compared to standard shingles. The additional material layers absorb and dissipate impact force from hail, falling branches, and wind-driven debris.

Landmark TL achieves Class 4 impact resistance certification through UL 2218 testing. This highest available rating demonstrates the shingles withstand repeated 2-inch steel ball impacts from 20 feet without cracking.

Long Island’s unpredictable weather includes occasional hailstorms and frequent high winds carrying debris. Landmark TL’s robust construction protects against damage that would compromise thinner shingles.

The durable composition extends roof lifespan significantly. More material thickness means more protection against UV degradation, thermal cycling, and physical wear over decades of service.

Heavyweight Premium Positioning

Landmark TL is not a budget option but rather a premium heavyweight architectural shingle. The extensive material content positions these shingles at higher price points than standard Landmark or entry-level products.

The investment purchases enhanced curb appeal, superior durability, and genuine luxury aesthetics. Homeowners wanting the wood shake look without compromise find Landmark TL delivers authentic dimensional appearance.

Three-layer construction requires more manufacturing resources and installation expertise. The resulting product quality justifies premium pricing for discerning homeowners prioritizing both appearance and protection.

County Roofing Systems helps homeowners understand Landmark TL’s value proposition. The upfront investment delivers decades of superior performance, enhanced property value, and neighborhood distinction.

0% Financing, Quick and Easy Approval

Introduction to Premium Roofing

The Best Roofing Materials from the Best Roofing Company

When it comes to premium roofing, homeowners want more than just a roof—they want peace of mind, classic appeal, and a solution that stands the test of time.

CertainTeed’s Landmark TL shingles are designed to deliver exactly that, combining durable materials, a multi layer design, and a protective outer layer to create a dramatically thick roofing product that’s built to last.

The Landmark TL stands out with its three laminated layers, each constructed for maximum strength and enhanced visual dimensionality.

This advanced design not only provides superior durability but also creates natural shadow lines and random tab designs that mimic the timeless beauty of wood shakes. The high contrast color palette offers a range of colors to match any home style, ensuring your roof becomes a standout feature of your property.

Energy efficiency is another hallmark of Landmark TL. With a cool roof rating from the Cool Roof Rating Council, these shingles are engineered to reduce heat absorption, helping to keep your home cooler and lowering energy costs. This makes them an eco-friendly and cost-effective choice for homeowners who want to make a smart investment in their property.

Homeowners can also rest easy knowing that Landmark TL shingles are backed by a lifetime limited transferable warranty, 10 year SureStart protection, and a 15 year warranty on labor.

These industry-leading warranties, combined with CertainTeed’s reputation for quality, ensure your investment is protected for years to come.

The shingles are certified by leading organizations such as LEED and NAHB, and may qualify for credits or points in green building programs, making them a reliable choice for those seeking both performance and sustainability.

For those living in areas prone to algae growth, Landmark TL’s StreakFighter technology helps prevent unsightly black streaks, keeping your roof looking beautiful year after year.

The fiberglass base and robust construction mean these shingles are designed to withstand winds up to 110 mph, providing durability and protection in even the harshest weather conditions.

Choosing the right roofing contractor is essential to ensure your new roof is installed correctly and complies with all local building codes.

Roofing Systems offers the resources, expertise, and certified installation teams needed to make the process easy and stress-free.

With a wide range of colors, easy installation, and a focus on customer satisfaction, Landmark TL shingles make upgrading your roof a seamless experience.

Installation Requirements and Best Practices

Discover the County Roofing difference.

Landmark TL isn’t a shingle for inexperienced crews.

The triple-layer construction, heavyweight materials, and premium price point demand professional installation expertise. Improper installation voids warranties and compromises the performance you’re paying for.

County Roofing Systems specializes in luxury shingle installations.

Professional Installation Expertise

Landmark TL’s triple-laminate construction requires experienced installation teams. The additional weight and thickness demand proper handling techniques and thorough understanding of CertainTeed specifications.

County Roofing Systems’ certified installers have extensive experience with luxury shingles. We understand the unique installation requirements including proper nailing techniques and valley treatment methods.

CertainTeed recommends open valley applications for Landmark TL installations. This method provides optimal water channeling and accommodates the shingle’s substantial thickness and rigidity.

Roof deck preparation becomes especially important with heavyweight shingles. County Roofing Systems assesses structural capacity to ensure your roof can properly support Landmark TL’s weight without additional reinforcement.

Complete Integrity Roof System

Landmark TL performs best when installed as part of the complete CertainTeed Integrity Roof System. This comprehensive approach includes proper underlayment, ventilation, starter shingles, and hip and ridge caps.

WinterGuard waterproofing shingle underlayment protects vulnerable areas from ice dams and wind-driven rain. The self-adhering membrane provides additional barrier protection beyond the shingles themselves.

Adequate ventilation proves critical for luxury shingle installations. County Roofing Systems includes continuous ridge vents and soffit venting to ensure proper airflow and temperature regulation.

CertainTeed hip and ridge shingles complement Landmark TL’s wood shake appearance. These accessories maintain consistent aesthetics while providing wind protection and weather sealing at critical roof junctions.

Warranty Registration and Maintenance

Landmark TL comes with lifetime limited transferable warranty against manufacturing defects. Proper installation by certified contractors like County Roofing Systems activates full warranty coverage.

The warranty includes 10 years of SureStart protection covering 100% of material and labor costs. This non-prorated coverage provides maximum protection during the critical early years.

County Roofing Systems handles warranty registration documentation for every installation. We ensure homeowners receive complete warranty protection and understand coverage terms.

Regular roof inspections maintain warranty validity and identify minor issues before they become major problems. We recommend annual inspections for Long Island homes exposed to coastal weather conditions.

Authentic Wood Shake Aesthetics

Luxury Aesthetics with Durability to Match

The visual difference between Landmark TL and standard shingles is dramatic.

From the street, these shingles look like genuine hand-split cedar. The thick butted edges, random tab designs, and natural shadow lines create dimensionality that flat architectural shingles can’t match.

This isn’t accidental. It’s engineered.

Landmark TL captures the telling beauty of wood shake roofing through advanced manufacturing techniques. Random tab designs with natural shadow lines create enhanced visual dimensionality impossible with standard shingles.

High-contrast color palette options feature rich tones and variegated blending. Popular colors include Resawn Shake, Weathered Wood, Shenandoah, Country Gray, and Platinum, each offering unique wood-inspired character.

The thick butted edges and sculpted appearance replicate hand-split cedar shakes. Viewed from the street, Landmark TL installations achieve the timeless elegance homeowners associate with premium wood roofing.

Unlike real wood shakes, Landmark TL maintains consistent appearance without warping, splitting, or color degradation. The asphalt composition ensures dimensional stability regardless of moisture or temperature fluctuations.

Shadow lines created by the triple-layer construction enhance architectural interest. These natural-looking depth variations catch light differently throughout the day, creating dynamic visual appeal standard flat shingles cannot match.

Wind and Fire Protection

Premium shingles need premium protection standards.

Landmark TL’s triple-layer construction provides inherent durability, but wind and fire resistance require proper engineering and testing. CertainTeed has invested heavily in both.

Long Island faces powerful coastal storms and wildfire ember exposure from neighboring properties.

Superior Wind Resistance

Landmark TL shingles withstand winds up to 110 mph with standard installation specifications. This wind rating protects Long Island homes during powerful summer thunderstorms and winter nor’easters.

The wind warranty upgrades to 130 mph when installed with CertainTeed starter shingles and hip and ridge caps. County Roofing Systems includes these components in complete Integrity Roof System installations.

Self-sealing adhesive strips bond shingles together upon installation. The adhesive activates with sun exposure, creating watertight seals that resist wind uplift and shingle blow-off.

NailTrak nailing system provides clear nailing targets across the shingle width. Proper nail placement ensures optimal wind resistance by securing each shingle firmly to the roof deck.

Class A Fire Resistance

Landmark TL achieves Underwriters Laboratories Class A fire resistance rating, the highest classification available. This rating means shingles withstand severe fire exposure and help reduce flame spread across roof surfaces.

Class A fire resistance provides critical protection during lightning strikes or windblown ember exposure. The shingles resist ignition significantly longer than wood shakes or lower-rated materials.

Long Island homeowners benefit from reduced insurance premiums with Class A rated roofing. Many insurance companies offer discounts recognizing the reduced fire risk these shingles provide.

The fire resistance remains effective throughout the shingle’s lifetime. Unlike wood shakes that become increasingly flammable as they dry and age, Landmark TL maintains consistent fire protection for decades.

StreakFighter Algae Resistance Technology

Those ugly black streaks on roofs across Long Island?

That’s Gloeocapsa magma—blue-green algae that thrives in humid coastal climates. Once established, algae spreads rapidly and proves difficult to remove without damaging shingles.

Prevention works better than cure.

Landmark TL includes 30-year StreakFighter algae resistance warranty protection. This advanced technology uses copper-containing granules embedded throughout the shingle surface.

The copper granules release trace amounts that inhibit algae growth across the entire roof. Long Island’s humid coastal climate creates ideal conditions for roof algae, making this protection particularly valuable.

Black streaks caused by algae detract from curb appeal and can accelerate shingle deterioration. StreakFighter technology maintains pristine appearance for decades without frequent cleaning or chemical treatments.

The algae resistance protects your roofing investment by preventing organism growth that compromises UV-resistant granules. Clean roofs perform better and last longer than algae-covered installations.

County Roofing Systems recommends StreakFighter-equipped shingles for all Long Island installations. Our humid shoreline environment makes algae resistance essential for maintaining roof appearance and longevity.

Landmark TL vs. Standard Landmark Comparison

A Complete Breakdown

Wondering if the TL upgrade is worth the additional investment?

Let’s compare specifics. Both are excellent CertainTeed shingles. Both carry lifetime warranties. Both use proven dual-layer construction—except Landmark TL adds that critical third layer.

The differences go beyond just thickness.

Landmark TL represents the top tier of the Landmark series with significantly enhanced features. The triple-laminate construction provides substantially more material and dimensional appearance than standard two-layer Landmark shingles.

Weight difference proves dramatic—Landmark TL’s three layers create much heavier shingles requiring careful handling and structural consideration. Standard Landmark offers excellent performance at lower weight and cost.

Aesthetic impact distinguishes the two products clearly. Landmark TL achieves authentic wood shake appearance with pronounced shadow lines, while standard Landmark provides attractive but less dramatic dimensional look.

Both products include StreakFighter technology and qualify for lifetime warranties with SureStart protection. The choice depends on budget priorities and desired visual impact rather than basic durability differences.

Homeowners seeking maximum curb appeal and willing to invest in premium materials choose Landmark TL. Those wanting proven CertainTeed quality at moderate pricing find standard Landmark meets their needs excellently.

Color Selection and Architectural Compatibility

Landmark TL’s color palette features high-contrast options with natural shadow lines and variegated blending. Each color choice captures wood shake character through carefully formulated granule composition.

Popular color selections include:

Resawn Shake: Light brown tones mimicking freshly split cedar
Weathered Wood: Versatile gray-brown suitable for diverse architectural styles
Shenandoah: Rich blend with depth and contrast
Country Gray: Sophisticated neutral complementing modern designs
Platinum: Dramatic high-contrast for bold statements

County Roofing Systems provides color samples showing actual shingle appearance. We also utilize CertainTeed’s ColorView visualization technology to preview different colors on your specific home.

Regional availability varies by location and CertainTeed distribution. Our team confirms color availability and delivery timeframes during project planning.

The substantial thickness and shadow lines of Landmark TL showcase colors beautifully. Light plays across the dimensional surface throughout the day, creating dynamic appearance that evolves with changing conditions.

Investment Value and Property Enhancement

Premium shingles cost more upfront—there’s no getting around that.

Landmark TL typically runs 30-40% higher than standard Landmark installations. For a typical Long Island home, that translates to several thousand dollars in additional material and installation costs.

The question isn’t whether it costs more. The question is whether the value justifies the investment.

Landmark TL represents significant roofing investment justified by long-term benefits. The premium pricing purchases authentic luxury aesthetics, superior durability, and enhanced property value.

Curb appeal improvements from Landmark TL installations substantially increase home resale value. Real estate professionals recognize quality roofing as key factor influencing buyer perceptions and offers.

The lifetime warranty and durable construction mean decades of protection without replacement costs. Long-term ownership perspective reveals Landmark TL’s excellent value despite higher initial investment.

Insurance premium reductions from Class 4 impact resistance and Class A fire rating offset some installation costs. These ongoing savings accumulate over the roof’s lifetime.

County Roofing Systems helps homeowners evaluate Landmark TL’s return on investment. We explain financing options and calculate long-term value including energy savings, insurance discounts, and property value enhancement.
