Shingles Facade

Small flat tiles laid in overlapping courses

A shingle facade is wall cladding made of small, flat metal tiles ("shingles") laid in overlapping, staggered rows — similar to roof shingles but on the walls. Each row overlaps the one below so rain runs off, while the repeating tile edges create a fine, crafted texture with natural variation.

Overlapping metal tiles laid course by course

Why choose a shingle facade?

Handcrafted character

Tile-by-tile courses give a warm, artisan texture that flat panels cannot match.

Sheds rain by design

Each course overlaps the one below, so water runs off the face during monsoon rains.

Natural variation

Blend two or three tones for a weathered, organic look — or keep one finish for calm uniformity.

Easy to repair

Small tiles can be replaced locally without removing large areas of cladding.

How does a shingle facade work?

Batten

Aluminium top-hat rails are fixed over the wall, leaving a ventilated cavity.

Lay

Shingles are laid from the bottom up, each course overlapping and interlocking with the one below.

Finish

Corners, edges and openings are closed with matching trims for a clean finish.

Types, materials & finishes

Staggered courses

Classic offset joints, like traditional shingles.

Stack bond

Aligned joints for a modern grid look.

Diagonal / diamond

Tiles set on the diagonal for a scaled texture.

Mixed-width

Random widths for an organic, handmade feel.

What is the difference between a shingle facade and a sequin facade?

Shingles are flat tiles laid tightly in overlapping courses to form a weather-shedding wall. Sequins are small plates hung on a grid as a decorative, often see-through screen that shimmers.

Yes. Shingles can run continuously from wall to roof, which suits pitched-roof villas, gables and towers.

Natural copper darkens to brown and, over many years and depending on climate, can develop a green patina. If you want a stable colour, choose a copper-look PVDF finish on aluminium.

The overlap sheds most rain, and the ventilated cavity lets any moisture drain and dry. A weather-resistant layer on the wall behind adds protection.

No. The ventilated cavity behind the shingles allows air to move and carry heat away. Light colours reflect more sun.
