Disconinuted Shingle


I need to find a match for my shingle that has been discontinued. I have a Firehalt Shingle - GS Metric Hunter Green SHawdowline. Any idea on how to find a good match or even locate an company that carries some of this "old" product? Noen of the local stores (Home Depot, Lowe's, etc.) have anything close!

Disconinuted Shingle


How old are the shingles and how much area do you have to cover?

Well I didn't want to burst his bubble right off the bat. But yeah that's kind what I was thinking too, but you never know, he might get lucky. That's a OC product isn't it Aaron? That's what I was thinking anyway, we don't do a tremendous amount of roofing and we tend to use Tamko whenever we can. Most of the shingles we used are made here in Mo, so it's a matter of spending our $$ as close to home as possible.

Tamko and Owne's Corning? Of course, but am not familiar with their lines.
