What Are the Different Types of Asphalt Shingles?

The asphalt shingles that we use for buildings are composition shingles made of asphalt and granules covering a fiberglass mat. There are many types of composition asphalt shingles:

1. Traditional Shingles: These are the oldest type of asphalt shingles also called 3-tab shingles or strip shingles. 3-tab shingles are flat, with uniform strips having three evenly spaced tabs. 3-tab shingles are composed almost entirely of asphalt and are affordable asphalt roofing. These are lighter and last for 10 to 20 years.
2. Architectural Shingles: These are composed of two layers, each layer is composed of asphalt and fiberglass. Therefore these two-layer shingles, also called laminate shingles or dimensional shingles, are thicker and are more resistant to weather. These shingles are more expensive but more durable as well that can last for more than 30 years.
3. Premium Shingles: These are also called designer shingles with a premium look feature. They mimic the look of other roofing materials, such as cedar shakes and slate tiles. These have a heavier base mat and multiple layers of refined asphalt, and are more durable. This product is available in diverse designs. Therefore, it easily fits any home.
4. Performance Shingles: These offer specific performance benefits, such as wind resistance, hail resistance or solar reflectivity. Simple shingles that have these features qualify as performance shingles. Algae and fire resistant shingles are also available.
