Premium Shingle Roofs
Behind the familiar look is a layered construction, and the mat gives the piece its strength. The granules do more than add color, because they shield the asphalt from ultraviolet light, so a handful of grit in a downspout tells a story.
Older houses often wear three-tab shingles because they were once the standard, so many homeowners compare it with thicker lines. Architectural shingles are made of two or more laminated layers that give the roof depth and shadow, and colors come in a wide range. Premium and luxury lines go further, with thicker laminates, deeper shadow lines and designer shapes, so the roof feels more substantial.
