Architectural Shingles
Architectural shingles are an asphalt-based roofing material. They are designed to give your roof a good-looking random pattern or simulate the look of a wood-shake roof. Architectural shingles are the most commonly used asphalt roofing material out of the three types of asphalt shingles. Not only are they the most popular asphalt shingle, but they are also actually the most common type of roofing material installed on roofs today. Architectural asphalt shingles are known to have a long life span. They can last 25-28 years if proper installation is done. Rhode Island Roofing is the company around you can count on for the best architectural shingles.
Three Types of Asphalt Roofing Shingles
There are three main categories of asphalt shingles. Each is unique in its aesthetic, life span and price point.
Architectural Roofing Shingles
Architectural or dimensional shingles combine two layers of asphalt for durability. These shingles also offer a multi-textural look. The robust and dimensional appearance makes architectural shingles one of the most popular asphalt varieties.
This type of shingle offers aesthetic value and can replicate other roofing materials like wood. They are mostly heavier than strip shingles and come with improved warranty protection as well as curb appeal.
Architectural shingles are traditionally made from durable fiberglass and ceramic-coated granules, compacted and refined to create water-resistant asphalt. Two popular architectural shingles include:
- Slate appearance: The dimensional shingles look like slate without the weight and technical installation requirements. No additional roof support is required, and you get the dramatic look of slate.
- Cedar shake appearance: Enjoy the impressive appearance of wood without the upkeep. Architectural shingles can closely imitate cedar wood shakes with extra details, like random slots, to make the appearance more authentic-looking.
Luxury Shingles
Luxury or premium/designer shingles are top-quality and have a unique aesthetic appearance. These asphalt shingles typically last 30 years, with superior wind resistance due to the thick design. Luxury shingles look almost identical to classic wood shake or slate roofs.
Designer shingles are difficult to install and may be too heavy for certain roofs, so working with experienced professionals like Rhode Island Roofing is essential. Premium asphalt shingles are in the higher price range due to their robust design, technical installation requirements and unique curb appeal.
