SHINGLING Meaning and Definition

1. Shingling refers to a construction technique where overlapping layers of flat, rectangular materials, commonly known as shingles, are installed on a surface to create a weatherproof barrier. The term typically pertains to the installation of roofing shingles, but it can also be used to describe the installation of siding or wall shingles.

   In the context of roofing, shingling involves arranging the shingles in an overlapping pattern, starting from the bottom edge of the roof and working upwards in rows. This technique ensures that any water or debris running down the roof is directed away from the underlying structure and guided towards the eaves or gutters that facilitate proper drainage. The shingles are typically made from materials like wood, asphalt, slate, or metal.

   Beyond roofing, shingling can also refer to the application of shingles on exterior walls or siding. This style of siding installation involves stacking shingles in horizontal rows, with each row overlapping the one below it. This creates an aesthetically pleasing result while simultaneously protecting the underlying structure from the elements.

   Shingling is an essential construction practice that combines functionality and visual appeal. It provides a durable, water-resistant cover for various structures while adding texture and character to their exteriors. The careful arrangement of shingles ensures optimal protection and longevity, making shingling an integral part of both residential and commercial construction projects.

2. Act of covering with shingles; a covering of shingles.

Etymology of SHINGLING

The word "shingling" comes from the Middle English term "shingle", which was derived from the Old English word "scindel". This Old English term originally referred to a wooden roofing tile or a thin piece of wood. Over time, the meaning of "shingle" expanded to include other materials used for roofing, such as slate or asphalt. "Shingling" thus refers to the process of applying or installing shingles, whether they are made of wood, slate, or other materials.
