What are Architectural Shingles?
Also known as dimensional or laminate shingles, architectural shingles are visually appealing and give a more sophisticated appearance to your roof. A top-of-the-line roofing product, architectural shingles are typically composed of multiple layers of a heavy, fiberglass mat base material saturated with water-resistant asphalt and coated with mineral granules.
Unlike its less expensive counterpart — 3-tab shingles — architectural shingles are much more wind resistant and are less likely to curl. This is an important factor to consider if you live in the Miami/South Florida region. Also, an architectural shingled roof offers a greater life expectancy than a 3-tab asphalt shingle roof — about 50% longer!
Style Versatility
Architectural shingles come in a wide variety of color, shading, and texture. Homeowners love the way architectural shingles provide a refined, tailored look to their roof. Made to resemble more premium materials like cedar shake, tile, or slate, architectural shingles raise the curb appeal of your home to the next level.
