Do Not settle for anything but the best
Architectural Shingles
- Dimensional and Textured: Architectural shingles are designed to create a multi-dimensional, textured look that mimics the appearance of natural wood or slate.
- Multiple Layers: They are made with multiple layers of material, giving them a thicker and more substantial appearance.
Durability and Lifespan:
- Longer Lifespan: Architectural shingles can last 30-50 years or more, with some premium options offering even longer warranties.
- More Durable: They are heavier and more robust, providing better resistance to wind, hail, and other weather elements.
3-Tab Shingles
- Flat and Uniform: 3-tab shingles are flat with a uniform shape and size, giving the roof a flat, slate-like appearance.
- Single Layer: They consist of a single layer of material with cutouts, or tabs, made along the bottom edge.
Durability and Lifespan:
- Shorter Lifespan: Generally, 3-tab shingles have a lifespan of about 20-30 years, depending on the quality and maintenance.
- Less Durable: They are thinner and less durable compared to architectural shingles, making them more susceptible to wind and weather damage.
