Enhanced Variations of Asphalt Shingles Traditional or organic asphalt roof installations have a felt base underpayment, a waterproof shingle layer, and a layer of granules that reflect damaging ultraviolet rays. These are produced in single layer strips, with the appearance of entirely separate shingles. Fiberglass shingles have a fiberglass base mat, so they are stronger, lighter weight, and take less materials. While the organic asphalt shingle is still a popular choice—some like it for its durability and flexibility—fiberglass shingles have become quite popular. Their smaller amount of asphalt also makes them more environmentally friendly. Either of these options can come in 3-tab or Architectural Shingles. 3-tab are a more simple design while architectural are thicker, more dimensional, and often last longer and so come with longer manufacturer warranties. More Visual than you Might Think Architectural shingles are a more stylish and slightly different design. Unlike their flat 3-tab counterpart, architectural shingles are produced in thicker layers to give them the desired three-dimensional effect. The bottom section of each shingle has an extra laminated layer of asphalt, giving it the contoured, more dynamic look that it’s named for. Architectural shingles aren’t the only visually appealing type of asphalt shingle. As technology and design has developed and branched out, many convincingly imitate the look of wood, slate or tile. You have a wide variety of colors and textures to choose from with the familiar maintenance and low cost of asphalt shingle installation.
