Types of Asphalt Roofing
1. Three-Tab Shingles
Once upon a time these were the most common type of asphalt shingles, featuring a flat design with three tabs. They are lightweight, easy to install, and cost-effective, making them a popular choice for budget-conscious homeowners. However, they typically have a shorter lifespan, lasting around 15-20 years.
2. Architectural Shingles
Also known as dimensional or laminate shingles, architectural shingles have a layered design that provides a more textured appearance. They are thicker and more durable than three-tab shingles, often lasting 25-30 years. Their enhanced aesthetic appeal and resistance to wind make them a preferred choice for many homeowners.
3. Luxury Shingles
These high-end shingles offer the appearance of slate or wood while providing the benefits of asphalt. They are thicker and more robust, often designed to mimic more expensive materials. Luxury shingles can last up to 50 years and are ideal for those seeking a distinctive look without the high cost of natural materials
4. Impact-Resistant Shingles
Designed to withstand severe weather conditions, these shingles are tested for durability against hail and high winds. They may come in both three-tab and architectural styles, offering peace of mind for homeowners in storm-prone areas.
