CertainTeed NorthGate Shingles in Edmonton
CertainTeed NorthGate is an SBS polymer-modified architectural shingle engineered for cold climates — flexible in deep cold and impact-resistant — making it one of the best CertainTeed matches for Edmonton’s freeze-thaw winters and hail.
What it is
NorthGate is a Landmark-style architectural shingle built with SBS (rubberized) polymer-modified asphalt. The SBS modification keeps it flexible when temperatures plunge and helps it absorb impact, while it keeps the familiar dimensional Landmark look.
Who it’s for: Edmonton homeowners who want a shingle purpose-built for cold and hail without stepping up to a luxury line.

Why it works in Edmonton
NorthGate is built for exactly Edmonton’s conditions. Conventional asphalt can grow brittle in deep cold; NorthGate’s SBS-modified asphalt stays flexible, resisting cracking through freeze-thaw cycles while its impact resistance addresses hail. Its 15-year algae and wind warranties are longer than standard Landmark, too.
Available colours in Canada

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is NorthGate a top pick for Edmonton?
NorthGate uses SBS (rubberized) polymer-modified asphalt engineered for cold climates. It stays flexible in deep cold to resist cracking through freeze-thaw cycles, and its construction resists impact for hail protection — with longer 15-year algae and wind warranties than standard Landmark.
What does SBS-modified mean?
SBS is a rubber-like polymer blended into the asphalt that makes the shingle more flexible and impact-absorbing, especially in cold weather. It’s the same technology used in premium commercial flat-roof membranes, adapted to a shingle.
Is NorthGate impact resistant?
Yes. NorthGate’s SBS-modified construction delivers strong impact resistance (Class 4). For a classic Landmark profile with a Class 4 rating, Landmark IR is the alternative.
What colours does NorthGate come in?
CertainTeed offers NorthGate in several Max Def colours for the Canadian market. Iron Shield Roofing confirms the current Alberta lineup with our suppliers for each project.
