Luxury Shingle Roofers
The common residential shingle starts as a reinforcing mat, which is coated with asphalt and then surfaced with mineral granules, and the mat gives the piece its strength. Without a surface of mineral granules, the asphalt beneath would dry and crack in a short time, and the process only gets faster over time.
The basic strip shingle is a simple product with a simple appearance, and fewer new roofs use it today. Laminated shingles are thicker, heavier and more dimensional than flat strip shingles, and the thicker body stands up better to sun. Designer shingles are heavier and carefully styled to resemble natural slate or cedar, and it is easy to overlook.
