Types of Asphalt Shingles

Three-tab

Among the common asphalt shingle types is the three-tab variety. These shingles consist of a single layer, providing a uniform and flat appearance. Constructed with a fiberglass mat coated in asphalt, each piece is divided into three equal sections or tabs, hence the name. This option is the most cost-effective for roofing.

Architectural

Architectural shingles, such as the GAF Timberline® HDZ™, are manufactured using multiple layers of asphalt-coated fiberglass laminated together. These shingles have a distinct cutting pattern that sets them apart from the three-tab option, resulting in a stylish and three-dimensional look.

Designer

Similar to other asphalt shingles, designer shingles are available in different colors and are designed to replicate the appearance of cedar, slate, or wood shake shingles.

What are roof shingles?

Roof shingles are an integral part of a residential roofing system and serve as a protective covering. Typically composed of asphalt, fiberglass mat, and ceramic-coated granules, these shingles are often installed in overlapping layers or courses. When used in a complete roofing system, shingles effectively safeguard your home against water infiltration.

There are plenty of options available, with shingles coming in various types, styles, and colors to complement any decor or architectural design.
