Woodgate®: Wide-Cut, Wood-Shake Style (as seen in title photo)

If you love the rustic charm of wood-shake but want asphalt simplicity, Heritage Woodgate delivers. Its wider shingle cut creates dramatic depth and curb appeal, backed by proven testing and TAMKO’s Limited Lifetime coverage.

  • Bolder, wider look
    Spanning roughly 10–12 inches, Woodgate shingles are cut up to 3× wider than standard Heritage—amplifying the shake look from the street.

  • Shadow-rich color design
    A distinctive granule blend, unique color drops, and Shadowtone effects add dimension and contrast across the roof.

  • Tested & listed

    Woodgate carries Class A fire resistance (UL 790/ASTM E108) and is listed/classified for wind resistance at 110mph.
