Strip Shingles

Also known as 3-tab shingles (due to the cut of the shingle) or simply strips, strip shingles are the original and most basic asphalt shingles. They are made from a single layer of asphalt and have a very flat appearance that typically offers a slate look. Since they are made from a single layer, they generally weigh and cost less than other asphalt shingles. Prior to designer shingles being introduced in the 1980s, strip shingles were the predominant roofing shingle in the market. Today, strip shingles are used most often used by home builders that manufacture inexpensive homes, or by homeowners who are replacing roofing shingles on residences that already have strip shingles on the roof.

Laminated Shingles

Laminated shingles are one of the most popular and effective choices of shingling for a roof. These shingles are made out of several layers of fiberglass that are dipped in asphalt and are then coated with fire-resistant granules. They are also known as dimensional and architectural shingles to differentiate them from traditional 3-tile shingles. Laminated shingles are single unit shingles. Every single shingle (trying saying that 5 times in a row) has a different shape and size. This allows you to make different designs and patterns on your roof and is also great for hiding any flaws in your roof. When it comes to construction, laminated shingles generally use multiple layers of fiberglass and have a much stronger base than a 3-tab shingle. Piling on layer after layer of asphalt on top of each other also makes it that much stronger. Some laminated shingles also use a more refined type of asphalt. They look and feel a lot heavier and thicker than 3-tab shingles.

Luxury Shingles

Luxury shingles are the highest-quality laminated shingles available, offering a differentiated appearance or functionality that outclasses that of dimensional shingles. Apart from being shingle ‘heavyweights’ that offer premium protection for weathering, luxury shingles are stunning to look upon, presenting the highest quality, coloration, and dimensionality. These products offer the most realistic representation of the old-world wood shake and quarried slate roofing.
