Your roof is routinely exposed to rain, snow, winds and the harmful rays of the sun, and yet it’s expected to go on providing you protection no matter what. Asphalt shingles are well-known for being easy to install and maintain, as well as for being very easy on the wallet when compared to other types of roofing. When looking for a cost-effective roofing solution that offers you durability and flexibility with many customizable options available, asphalt shingles remain a popular choice.

The Different Types of Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles usually come in three main varieties: Strip shingles, Dimensional shingles and Laminated shingles.

1. Strip shingles are the most basic variety. They are single-layered, flat, lightweight and look a lot like slate.

2. Dimensional shingles are probably the most common ones used in North America today. Dual-layered, they offer a thicker, richer appearance for a multi-dimensional look to your roof.

3. Laminated shingles are made to mimic “Old World” roofing shingles, such as natural slate or natural shake roofing shingles. When it comes to aesthetics, energy-efficiency and lifespan, laminated shingles are your best bet among the different types of asphalt shingles.

When is Asphalt Best Used in a Roofing System?
If you’re on a budget, asphalt shingles are a more affordable roofing option that come in many different colours, sizes, patterns and styles to uniquely complement your home or business. They’re also a proven building material that many roofers know and trust when it comes to durability and maintaining a good performance record. Asphalt roofing is also easy to repair should it ever become damaged.

 

How long you can expect your asphalt shingles to last will vary depending upon your climate, installation and several other factors. You should be aware that asphalt roofing is often more susceptible to heavy hail and wind damage than metal roofing. People who live in humid climates should look for algae-resistant shingles. Algae growth that can leave unsightly streaks on your roofing. Another important thing to remember when selecting your shingle colour is that darker-coloured shingles will naturally absorb more heat and light, while lighter colours will reflect that heat and light.
