Understanding Asphalt Shingle Types

The type of shingle you select for your roof will typically dictate how long a roof lasts. Asphalt shingles, the most popular roofing material in the United States, come in three main types: three-tab, architectural (dimensional) shingles, and premium shingles. Each type offers unique benefits and characteristics to suit different roofing needs and aesthetic preferences. Our team at Flagship Roofing LLC is proficient in working with all types of asphalt shingles, ensuring a high-quality installation that maximizes the lifespan and performance of your roof.

Three-Tab Shingles: Affordable Durability

Three-tab shingles are the most affordable type of asphalt shingle and make an excellent option for homeowners looking for quality roofing on a budget. Characterized by their thin, flat appearance and uniform shape, these shingles are about 12 inches wide and 36 inches long. Despite their affordability, three-tab shingles offer a decent life expectancy of 15 to 20 years and can withstand winds of up to 60 miles per hour. They also come with warranties lasting between 20 and 30 years, providing homeowners with peace of mind and assurance in their investment.

Architectural Shingles: Enhanced Aesthetics and Durability

Architectural shingles, also known as dimensional shingles, are designed for homeowners seeking enhanced aesthetic appeal and durability. These shingles are thicker and more robust than three-tab shingles, providing improved resistance to wind and weather conditions. Architectural shingles allow for customization, enabling homeowners to achieve the look of high-end materials such as cedar shakes. With a lifespan of 25 to 30 years, wind resistance up to 110 miles per hour, and warranties ranging from 30 to 50 years, architectural shingles represent a significant upgrade in terms of both performance and aesthetics.

Premium Architectural Shingles: Ultimate Quality and Longevity

For those seeking the pinnacle of asphalt shingle quality, premium architectural shingles are the top choice. These high-quality shingles are thicker and more rounded, closely mimicking the appearance of wood shake or slate shingles. Premium shingles boast impressive durability, with a lifespan ranging from 30 to 50 years, and they can withstand winds of up to 130 miles per hour. Additionally, premium shingles come with comprehensive warranties, including both manufacturer warranties and installation warranties, providing the utmost assurance in the longevity and performance of your roof.
