Luxury Shingle Roofing
Behind the familiar look is a layered construction, and the granules protect the asphalt from the sun. A shingle that has lost its granules is losing its sunscreen, and the process only gets faster over time.
Older houses often wear three-tab shingles because they were once the standard, and it remains a reasonable choice in some situations. The extra layer adds weight and strength, and the cut pattern breaks up the lines, so there is something for most houses. Designer shingles are heavier and carefully styled to resemble natural slate or cedar, and the added weight is a benefit in wind.
