Asphalt Shingles

Definition: A popular roofing material made from a base of organic felt or fiberglass, coated with asphalt and embedded with mineral granules. These shingles are durable (15-20 years), cost-effective, and easy to install, making them the most common choice for residential roofs in North America.

Types of asphalt shingles:

Three-Tab Shingles: The most basic type, featuring a flat, uniform appearance with cutouts along the lower edge, giving the illusion of three separate pieces.

Architectural Shingles: Also known as dimensional or laminate shingles, these are thicker and have a more textured, layered appearance, mimicking the look of wood or slate. They offer better durability and longer warranties.

Luxury Shingles: The highest quality asphalt shingles, designed to replicate the appearance of natural slate or cedar shakes. They offer superior durability, aesthetic appeal, and the longest warranties among asphalt shingles.
