Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Highlander Cool is Malarkey's entry-level solar-reflective option, a good pick where energy codes or cool-roof requirements apply but budget matters. Stick with Malarkey starter and hip/ridge pieces and follow the ESR-3150 fastening pattern to keep the 130 MPH wind rating intact. On low-slope sections verify the minimum slope requirements in the evaluation report before proceeding.
Asphalt shingle installation involves work at height—use proper fall protection and follow OSHA and local code requirements, especially on hot roofs.
Order Malarkey Highlander Cool shingles in Burlwood for Class 3 impact resistance and solar-reflective performance by the bundle.
