What Roofing Shingles Are Made in Canada?

Let’s talk about roofing shingles—the unsung heroes of your home. They protect you from rain, snow, wind, and all the unpredictable moods of Canadian weather.

But have you ever wondered which shingles are actually made right here in Canada?

At Golden Horseshoe Roofing, a family-run business proudly based in Hamilton, Ontario, we believe in doing things the right way: with care, with quality, and with local pride. That’s why we offer BP Canada shingles—products designed and manufactured in Canada, by Canadians, for Canadian homes.

Let’s take a closer look at which shingles are made in Canada, why it matters more than ever to support local businesses, and how choosing Canadian-made materials can actually make your home (and your wallet) happier in the long run.

BP Canada: Made Here, Built to Last

When it comes to Canadian-made roofing products, BP Canada leads the way. Founded in 1905, BP has been manufacturing top-quality roofing and building materials for over a century. Their commitment to performance, innovation, and durability makes them a trusted name in our industry—and a perfect fit for the homes we work on across the Golden Horseshoe.

One of their standout products is the new Signature line of shingles. These are bold, beautiful, and inspired by the colours and textures of nature. With a selection of sophisticated tones developed by BP’s Chroma® Color Lab, homeowners can now mix and match to create custom roofing patterns that are as unique as the homes they protect.

But it’s not just about good looks. These shingles are engineered to handle some serious Canadian weather. They’re rated to withstand winds up to 220 km/h (the equivalent of a category 4 hurricane) and boast Class 3 impact resistance, meaning they can hold their own against hail the size of golf balls. Tough and stylish—what more could you ask for?

Prefer something a little more traditional with a touch of elegance? The Manoir line offers the rich, old-world charm of European architecture, with the same high-performance durability. It’s a great option for homeowners who want timeless curb appeal without compromising on strength.

Why Buying Canadian Makes a Difference

There’s a lot more to choosing Canadian-made shingles than just national pride—though we’re definitely proud! Supporting Canadian manufacturers like BP Canada has real, practical benefits.

First and foremost, it helps support our economy. Every purchase of Canadian-made products keeps jobs, expertise, and innovation right here at home. When you support local, you're investing in your community—and that’s something we can all feel good about.

Then there’s the matter of tariffs and trade complications. Importing building materials—especially from the U.S.—can come with unexpected costs due to international tariffs and policy changes. The Canadian Home Builders’ Association has raised concerns about how these tariffs are driving up construction costs and contributing to affordability issues across the country.

By choosing locally made shingles, you’re not only supporting Canadian jobs—you’re avoiding supply chain disruptions and reducing exposure to foreign market volatility. Simply put, buying Canadian gives you more control, more consistency, and more peace of mind.
