Why Choose Shingle Roofing
There are many reasons for shingles’ popularity amongst homeowners. Some of the top reasons you might choose a shingle roof include:
- Affordability: When it comes to the upfront cost of installation, shingles can’t be beat. They are the most budget-friendly option for roofing materials while still providing a high degree of protection.
- Versatility: You can make shingle roofing match your preferred aesthetics with its range of colors and style options.
- Durability: Modern shingles are designed to be highly weather resistant, holding up against storms, wind, and UV rays from the sun. Furthermore, many options are also resistant to algae growth, which is an added bonus in coastal New York.
- Ease of Maintenance: Shingles lend themselves well to being repaired, since individual or small numbers of shingles can be repaired or replaced without needing to replace the whole roof.
- Energy Efficiency: You can choose shingles that are light in color or are designed to reflect light and heat, which allows your home’s temperature to remain more stable and require less energy to heat or cool it on average.
Types of Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt composition shingles come in a few main types.
3-Tab Shingles
As the name suggests, 3-tab shingles are composed of three tabs roughly 12’ wide each. They are known for their affordability, and generally last 20-25 years before requiring replacement, which is less than other types of shingles. When it comes to the other downsides, 3-tab shingles are more susceptible to moss and algae growth and are less wind resistant.
Architectural/Laminate Shingles
Architectural shingles are a newer design of shingle that includes fiberglass as well as asphalt in their composition. This allows for more fire resistance and durability. Rather than have multiple tabs, they are single-tab shingles and come in a variety of shapes and designs for better curb appeal. Installing this type of shingle can increase your home value. They can withstand winds of 130 miles per hour and often last 30-50 years.
Designer Shingles
Designer shingles are the most durable of these three options, since they are made up of two layers that are fused together. Aesthetically, they also offer a range of textures, patterns, and colors to improve the appearance of your home. They can hold up in 130 mile-per-hour winds and often are paired with a manufacturer warranty of 50 years or even a lifetime.
