What Are Roof Shingles?
Roof shingles are an integral part of a residential roofing system and serve as a protective covering. Typically composed of asphalt, fiberglass mat, and ceramic-coated granules, these shingles are often installed in overlapping layers or courses. When used in a complete roofing system, shingles effectively safeguard your home against water infiltration.
Types of Asphalt Shingles
- Three-tab: Among the common asphalt shingle types is the three-tab variety. These shingles consist of a single layer, providing a uniform and flat appearance. Constructed with a fiberglass mat coated in asphalt, each piece is divided into three equal sections or tabs, hence the name. This option is the most cost-effective for roofing.
- Architectural: Architectural shingles, such as the GAF Timberline® HDZ™, are manufactured using multiple layers of asphalt-coated fiberglass laminated together. These shingles have a distinct cutting pattern that sets them apart from the three-tab option, resulting in a stylish and three-dimensional look.
- Designer: Similar to other asphalt shingles, designer shingles are available in different colors and are designed to replicate the appearance of cedar, slate, or wood shake shingles.
