Luxury Shingle Roofs

An asphalt shingle is a fiberglass mat soaked in asphalt and covered with ceramic-coated granules, and the granules protect the asphalt from the sun. A shingle that has lost its granules is losing its sunscreen, and it pays to think it through.

The basic strip shingle is a simple product with a simple appearance, and the saving is real but so is the shorter life. The extra layer adds weight and strength, and the cut pattern breaks up the lines, and the details are worth a closer look. Premium and luxury lines go further, with thicker laminates, deeper shadow lines and designer shapes, so the roof feels more substantial.
