Different Types of Asphalt Roof Shingles

A well-built roof is critical to your comfort and safety at home. On the market, there are numerous types of roofing materials to choose from, including clay and concrete tiles, wood shakes, and metal roofing. However, across the United States, over 75% of homes are covered with asphalt shingles. If you are planning to install an asphalt shingle roof, a reputable roof and  gutter installation  contractor will help you find the shingle type that best suits your home.

Strip Shingles

Strip shingles, also known as 3-tab shingles, are the most basic type of asphalt shingles you can find. Made from a single layer of asphalt, these shingles exhibit a flat appearance and generally weigh and cost less than other asphalt shingles. Today, strip shingles are often used by residential builders on inexpensive homes or by homeowners who already have strip shingles installed on their roofs.

Dimensional Shingles

Also referred to as architectural or laminate shingles, dimensional shingles are the most common type of asphalt shingles used on residential  roofing  applications. These shingles are built with two or more layers of asphalt, have a richer, multi-dimensional look, and engineered to emulate other high-cost materials such as wood shake and slate shingles.

Luxury Shingles

Luxury shingles are the top-rated laminated shingles available on the market. These products are known for their superior performance and appearance that outclasses that of dimensional shingles. From its premium protection for weathering to its stunning coloration and dimensionality, a luxury asphalt shingle roof is the go-to choice for homeowners looking to improve their homes substantially.
