Shingles Basics
3-Tab asphalt shingles
Prior to designer shingles being introduced in the 1980s, 3-tab asphalt shingles or strip shingles, were the predominant roofing shingle in the market. Today, 3-tab asphalt 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.
Dimensional Asphalt shingles
These products are manufactured with two or more layers of asphalt that are fused together for a thicker and richer multi-dimensional appearance, and are engineered to replicate the wood shake and natural slate roofing aesthetics.
Dimensional shingles are typically heavier than strip shingles, and have improved warranty protection.
Luxury asphalt 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.
