You have a lot of choices when it comes to roofing design. You can choose from different styles, materials, colors and patterns of shingles. But one of the safest choice homeowners make is asphalt shingles for their roof.
Asphalt shingles are affordable and much more durable than other regular shingles on the market. You can choose from a variety of different colors that can match your home. You may even choose those that match your gutters or siding.
However, the selection process in this stage is still crucial. Each type of asphalt shingle is specially made for a specific purpose, with each of them being distinct from one another. In this post, Roof Masters discusses three different types of asphalt shingles.
-
3-Tab Asphalt Shingles
These are created to last for two decades. Three-tab asphalt shingles are the most economical among the types of asphalt shingles. They are made of durable fiberglass that are coated with granules of minerals. They are also lightweight and easy to install.
-
Dimensional Asphalt Shingles
According to siding and roofing experts, longevity is their major asset. This type of asphalt shingle can last for more than two decades. They have a multidimensional appearance and texture, and they can easily stand out due to their delicate detail. They cost a little more than the usual asphalt shingles, however.
-
Luxury Asphalt Shingles
These are the toughest of them all, yet they are cheaper than slate and cedar shingles. And unlike cedar and slate, luxury asphalt shingles are much easier to install while still providing a sophisticated appearance to your house. However, these are not for everyone as they are a significant investment. They also weigh heavier than the other two types of shingles.
