We provide three major roofing shingle products:
The first decision to make during a shingle roof replacement project is whether to use basic 3-tab shingles or upgrade to an architectural style shingle. These two types of shingles differ in significant ways.
Basic 3-tab asphalt shingles are widely used and provide solid performance at a budget-friendly price point. In this type of asphalt roofing material, each shingle is cut into three equal-sized “tabs,” the exposed portion of the shingle that you can see once it is installed. Every shingle is identical in size, shape, and thickness, resulting in a uniform appearance.
Architectural shingles, sometimes called dimensional shingles or laminate shingles, are visually distinctive and give a more sophisticated appearance to the roof. This shingle is not cut into tabs but has pieces of additional asphalt in varying widths laminated to the shingle with an asphalt sealant. This creates an intentional variation in thickness and color shading, which mimics the irregular shadows and random sizes that are characteristic of a wood shake or slate roof. Architectural shingles are thicker and can weigh 50% more than 3-tab shingles.
