Dimensional Asphalt Shingles

 

Architectural Shingles: A Marriage of Tradition and Innovation  GTA Roof Installation that Is Luxurious and Durable.  Sometimes also known as laminated or dimensional roof shingles, architectural shingles are a high quality brand of standard organic asphalt shingles. Like fiberglass shingles, they have a fiberglass base and reflective mineral granules set into a waterproof asphalt layer. Architectural roofing is, however, notably thicker, more textured, and with a heavier coating of granules than standard fiberglass and standard organic asphalt shingles. While architectural roofing products are most immediately praised for their visual appeal, the difference isn’t only cosmetic. While the roofing materials are similar, architectural shingles will last you up to twice as long as standard organic asphalt shingles. And as a higher quality shingle, they will help add to the value of your house. New roof installation is a slightly more rigorous process since it involves more arrangement and layering. And while it’s difficult to beat the ease of shingle installation on traditional asphalt roofing, with the right roofing contractors, architectural shingles are still quicker and easier to install than the roofing materials they visually replicate (like the thicker cedar). This all around extra durability means they are more leak resistant and reflect damaging ultraviolet rays more effectively. Their weight also contributes to their durability and their wind resistance, which is up to twice that of standard asphalt. Because of all this, they have a longer lifespan, need to be replaced less often, and proudly carry the brand of Lifetime shingles. While typical asphalt often comes with a 10-30 year Manufacturer’s Warranty, our Architectural Shingles have a 50 Year Manufacturer’s Warranty: which tells you something about our confidence in their durability! Roof Installation in Oakville and Milton: Finely-Tuned Aesthetics A regular shingle installation will run them in straight, flat in rows, while architectural shingles are more varied and layered. Whereas the standard three tab are all the same size, the individual architectural shingles vary in size to add to the visual effect. This makes your roof look less like a typical roof installation and more like shakes—more dynamic, more shadowed, more three dimensional. The sizing isn’t the only thing that contributes to this. While standard asphalt shingles do offer you a reasonable amount of selection, architectural can replicate the pattern, colour and look of wood, slate or tile roofing materials. And as a little added bonus, the visual variation helps hide any minor damage or cosmetic manufacturing irregularities that may occasionally crop up. Given their structural resemblance to shakes, they don’t perform as well on particularly low slope roofs, but they are a fine selection for almost all residential pitches. If these visual effects and adjustments sound minor or unimportant, you’ll be surprised when you actually see these two roofing products side the side. Even if you aren’t looking for it, the difference is impossible not to notice and appreciate. Well-Rounded Residential Roofing: Appeal and Performance The combination of visual appeal and lower maintenance performance is tough to argue with. Even homeowners who Read More »

Popular Pitched Roof Materials Architectural Asphalt: Shingles made of asphalt are one of the most common and popular residential roofing styles you’ll see.

We can offer them in a wide variety of colors to match your home’s aesthetic needs. Fiberglass Shingles: Asphalt shakes combined with fiberglass. They are a newer, stronger, very resilient roof tile made out of the same material as the insulation of the same name. Fiberglass shingles are non-porous and won’t curl or bend, they are very light weight and can be more inexpensive than other asphalt roof materials. Professional installation is important for fiberglass shingles in order to prevent them from splitting in the cold weather. Otherwise, they stand up to all climates very well. Architectural Shingles: Asphalt or fiberglass roofing shingles that are much thicker and more durable than typical shingles. They are higher quality, and they last longer than typical shingles. They can often be designed to look like natural materials, like slate or cedar. This is achieved through a coating of laminated mineral.They are called “architectural shingles” due to their appearance, which is often described as dramatic or impressive, due to the shadow lines their design creates – they are also known as dimensional shingles due to their thickness. Cedar Shakes: One of the most beautiful choices available. Cedar roofing ages very well, both in terms of protective performance and in terms of their stunning visual appeal. Cedar shingles are also known for serving as a natural insulation that is noticeably higher than other materials, which means you’ll save on energy costs.

Exterior Siding

 

Beyond Quality Roofing: Siding Oakville for a Long-lasting Future Protecting Your Home In More Ways Than One Other than roofing, siding material and installation is a major part of keeping your home insulated and protected. To compliment both the protection and aesthetics of your GTA roofing, siding choices we provide come from carefully selected providers and manufacturers. Our professional siding installation jobs will only be as good as the materials we’re installing, so we commit ourselves to finding producers who are invested in the well-being of our customers. Choosing a Premium GTA Siding Company Behind every great roofing company is an equally great manufacturer. Kaycan, our exterior cladding supplier, is a family owned business, committed to both consistent values and continual innovation. They’re a leading producer of vinyl, metal and wood sidings for homes and businesses across the world. Through Kaycan, we are able to offer our customers an unbeatable warrantied array of vinyl siding options, ranging from sleeker, modern styles to natural looking wood grains. We can also recommend products designed specifically for various residential, commercial and industrial environments, including indoor paneling.

Between our premium siding company partners and our own siding installation and repair expertise, your home will have top quality, long lasting performance for roofing, cladding, and all around protection. Versatile Vinyl Exterior Siding Vinyl is one of the least expensive options for residential exterior cladding. It’s light weight, making it easier to transport and install: which also saves you money.  But we know that just a low price isn’t enough reason to back a product. Vinyl will also give your home extremely durable protection: it can stand up to a wide range of unpleasant temperatures and high speed winds without cracking or buckling. And since vinyl doesn’t absorb water or moisture, it performs well in the heaviest rains and under particularly humid conditions. No, it is not as durable as metal but it certainly will provide you with excellent protection for a low price. Vinyl exterior siding also offers extra insulation to cover the areas of your home that are unevenly insulated. Most homes, by the nature of the way they’re built, don’t have any insulation between the cladding and the wooden framework, and vinyl siding will work for you as cost effective bonus insulation. Vertical vinyl siding installation can give your home a unique look, in either a classic smooth finish or a wood grain design to give your exterior walls the look of wooden planks. The interlocking planks will give you the same benefits and protection as horizontal vinyl. Engineered Wood & Metal Siding We are also proud to be able to offer engineered wood to our residents and homeowners. Engineered wood exterior cladding gives you the beauty, protection and insulation of other wood siding without the Read More »
