Architectural Shingle Roofs
Behind the familiar look is a layered construction, and each part has a job to do. Without a surface of mineral granules, the asphalt beneath would dry and crack in a short time, and it pays to think it through.
Flat shingles of this style are economical but wear out sooner than thicker kinds, so many homeowners compare it with thicker lines. Most new roofs on houses today use architectural shingles, which look richer and resist wind better, and colors come in a wide range. A luxury shingle uses extra layers and special granules to create a handcrafted appearance, so the roof feels more substantial.
