OverviewThe Kingspan SH-Design shingle is an interlocking aluminium façade cladding element designed for concealed (secret) fix installations directly onto structural substrates. It provides a continuous, tile-like façade finish without visible stainless-steel clips and can be used for external façades and soffits when fixed to appropriate substrates.
