ABOUT ASPHALT SHINGLES
Asphalt roof shingles, aka composite shingles, are one of the most popular materials used for roofing today! Not only are they incredibly long-lasting and designed to protect your home for decades, but they also require minimal maintenance, which is great news for a busy homeowner.
When installed by a professional, Asphalt roofing shingles are known to deliver several purposes and benefits.
These are our top 8 advantages to incorporating asphalt roofing into your home, though there are still many more to be experienced!
Covering many different angles, shapes, and forms means that they work with almost any type of roof, no matter how large or complicated yours might be.
Available in a range of rich architectural styles.
If you’re looking to preserve your home’s curb appeal or even improve it before a sale, you’ll be able to pick the right colour/shade of roofing material to match the rest of your home.
These are the most cost-effective roofing materials upfront while also providing the most long-term value
Available in light, medium, and dark tones that reflect a higher amount of the sun’s rays, which, in turn, reduces the temperature of the roof surface. This allows you to use less energy to cool your home and, of course, save money!
These not only insulate sound but can also be significantly quieter than metal roofs, resulting in less noise during large rain and/or hail storms.
Many roofs, especially those made of wood, allow algae, mould, and mildew growth (aka the dreaded black stains that appear). These shingles inhibit blue-green algae growth, protecting both the colour and appearance of your roof.
Superior (Class A) protection against the penetration and spread of fire, in the case of external fire hazards.
Once you’re finished with your set of shingles, they can be repurposed into other products, including recycled asphalt used to make and repair roads.
Installing a new chimney? Maybe a skylight? It’s easy to add new features to one part of a shingle roof without disturbing the rest. The same may not be said of other roof types.
THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF ASPHALT SHINGLES
STRIP SHINGLES
Also known as 3-tab shingles (due to the cut of the shingle), strip shingles are the original and most basic of asphalt shingles. They are made from a single layer of asphalt and have a very flat appearance. Thanks to these characteristics, they generally weigh and cost less than other asphalt shingles.
Strip shingles are most often used by home builders that manufacture inexpensive homes or by homeowners who are replacing roofing shingles on residences that already have strip shingles on the roof.
DIMENSIONAL SHINGLES
These may also be referred to as architectural or laminate shingles and are the most popular asphalt shingles. Manufactured with two or more layers of asphalt that are fused together for a thicker & richer multi-dimensional appearance, these are heavier than strip shingles, resulting in improved quality and protection
LUXURY SHINGLES
Considered the Cadillac of shingles materials, Luxury Shingles are the highest-quality laminated shingles available, offering an evolved appearance and functionality that surpasses that of dimensional shingles. Apart from being the shingle ‘heavyweights’ that offer premium protection for weathering, luxury shingles are stunning to look at, presenting the highest quality, colouration, and dimensionality.
This option also offers the most realistic representation of the old-world wood shake and quarried slate roofing.
