THREE TYPES OF ASPHALT SHINGLES
No matter which asphalt shingle brand you choose, there are three primary options that you can choose for your roof replacement.
Strip shingles: Also known as 3-tab shingles, these are the most basic asphalt shingles available. They have a flat look, similar to the appearance of slate, and are made from a single layer of asphalt. Since they weigh less than other options and are a bit less durable, they have the lowest price point.
Dimensional shingles: These are a mid-range option, also known as architectural shingles. Unlike strip shingles, they are made from two or more layers of asphalt for a thicker and multi-dimensional appearance. This gives them more durability and a look closer to wood shake shingles.
Luxury shingles: The highest-quality option, these are laminated shingles that offer the best protection against weather extremes. They have a luxury look, similar to wood shake or slate roofing and they are the heaviest asphalt shingle option available.
Our team can help you decide which asphalt shingle makes the most sense for your needs.
