Types of Asphalt Roofing Shingles
By Roofing Materials
Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt roof shingles are the single-most popular type of shingle in the United States thanks to their cost effectiveness and variety. These shingles contain layers of fiberglass mats, asphalt, and ceramic granules, giving them enhanced durability.
For eco-conscious businesses and homeowners, switching to lighter or cooler-colored granules can improve the energy efficiency of standard asphalt shingle roofs.
Architectural Shingles
Architectural asphalt shingles are a particular type of asphalt shingle. They are made with better base materials and adhesives, giving them an enhanced lifespan of more than 50 years, high-wind resistance, and superior impact resistance.
Also called:
- Laminated shingles
By Shingle Shape and Style
Designer Shingles
Designer shingles are engineered to enhance curb appeal. They can look like more expensive products, like cedar shakes, while still offering the benefits of sturdier, more affordable materials like asphalt. Best of all, many designer shingles from brands like GAF Timberline HDZ offer superior warranties.
Also called:
- Luxury shingles
- Premium shingles
Three-Tab Shingles
Three-tab shingles are a lightweight, affordable variant of the asphalt shingle. They are made with three tabs, cut so that a single tile looks like three separate ones. While affordable, these shingles are not particularly durable compared to other types of roof shingles.
Also called:
- Strip shingles
- 3-tab shingles
