Why Malarkey Highlander shingles Works in Calgary
Calgary’s deep cold can make ordinary asphalt brittle. Highlander’s NEX rubberized asphalt is designed to stay flexible through freeze-thaw cycles, helping the roof resist cracking and impact, while its high-wind design stands up to chinook gusts.
Available colours in Canada
Malarkey offers Highlander in a range of colours for the Canadian market. Colour availability shifts by region and season, so rather than list colours we can’t currently verify for Alberta, we confirm the live Canadian lineup with our suppliers for each project.
