Architectural Shingles: Beauty and Protection for Your Roof
All shingles share a core structure—layers of fiberglass sandwiched between asphalt and ceramic-coated granules, but dimensional shingles offer thicker layers and premium materials for added insulation, wind resistance, waterproofing, and visual appeal. There are also many colors and finishes that mimic other materials like slate tiles or wood shakes. They stand out as one of the most cost-effective but beautiful roofing choices in the United States, making them a preferred option for many homeowners.
Many homeowners don’t know the difference between the types of roofing materials they can get, but we want to help all our clients make informed decisions for their homes.
Dimensional Shingles:
- Withstand wind speeds of 110-130 mph.
- The lifespan is 30 years or more under optimal climate conditions, backed by lifetime warranties.
- Offer superior value, ensuring long-term savings due to resilience and exceptional waterproofing.
- Enhance property value with their visual appeal, appealing to potential home buyers.
- Available in diverse shapes and sizes, making them ideal for unique roof structures or homeowners seeking a distinctive appearance.
3-Tab Shingles:
- Last 15-20 years under suitable conditions, with warranties typically under 30 years.
- Present a flat and uniform appearance, lacking flexibility and customization.
- Facing phasing out due to obsolescence and lower quality.
Are architectural shingles superior to 3-tab? Definitely.
Despite a higher upfront cost, the increased longevity, enhanced property value, and functionality of architectural shingles justify the investment. Choosing architectural shingles when budget permits ensures a premium and enduring roofing solution.
