Asphalt shingles can be used for residential roofing. They are relatively cheap and easy to install. This type of roof is able to withstand harsh weather conditions. You can choose between a variety of asphalt roof shingles.

Three-Tab

Three-tab shingles are among the most affordable shingles available. The shingles are made up of a thin layer of bitumen and a lightweight granule layer. The granules are inexpensive and can last for a long time when installed properly.

Dimensional Shingles

This type of shingle can be referred to as architectural or laminated shingles. Some of the most expensive models are made from two different types of asphalt and have a three-dimensional look. These shingles can be made to look like natural slates or wooden swings. They are often larger than the three-tab shingles and provide better protection. These shingles last longer, but they are more expensive.

Luxury Laminated Shingles

They are available in many colors and sizes and can withstand the most extreme weather conditions. This option gives your home a rustic look and a high-quality look.

When you’re looking for a new roof, consider these types of asphalt shingles. Asphalt shingles offer durability and strength.
