Asphalt shingles are the most popular type of residential roofing material today and provide one of the most cost effective solutions for your roofing needs. There are two types of asphalt shingles; organic and glass fiber. Both have ceramic granules that protect against premature deterioration from UV rays as well as provide unique aesthetics.
There are 2 main styles of asphalt Shingles:
Most manufacturers offer shingle warranties of 20 – 50 years, and some systems offer a limited lifetime warranty.
Strip Shingles
The most common shingle in the market. 3-tab shingles are a common form of this style, and are simply installed in a single-layer. They are manufactured in many different colors.
Dimensional Shingles
Also known as architectural shingles, this system is manufactured in multiple layers. These roofing shingles are heavier then their strip shingle counter-part, and therefore have an increased life cycle. They also come in several style, shape and color options.
