Architectural Shingle Roofing
An asphalt shingle is a fiberglass mat soaked in asphalt and covered with ceramic-coated granules, and the mat gives the piece its strength. Granule loss is the clearest sign that a shingle is wearing out, 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. Dimensional shingles imitate the look of shake or slate at a modest cost, and the details are worth a closer look. Premium and luxury lines go further, with thicker laminates, deeper shadow lines and designer shapes, and the added weight is a benefit in wind.
