Materials Used for Asphalt Shingles

Asphalt shingles can be divided into two different materials – fiberglass and organic.

  • Fiberglass – is fire retardant and treated with a protective resin
  • Organic – these shingles are made of paper with an asphalt coating (they are mostly obsolete)

 

Different Types of Roof Shingles

Strip Shingles (3-Tab Shingles)

  • Strip or 3-Tab shingles are lightweight and designed to withstand the elements for about 20 years. These are a good choice for homeowners with a budget.

Dimensional Shingles

  • Dimensional Shingles are extremely durable. These shingles are multi-dimensional in texture and appearance and can last for approximately 30 years.

Luxury Shingles

  • Luxury Shingles are multi-dimensional in appearance and boast maximum durability. They are more affordable than a slate or cedar shingle but still have a clean beautiful finish. They are heavier than some the other shingle options above, making them less likely to lift in extreme weather conditions.
