Types of Asphalt Shingle Roofs

There are three types of asphalt shingles to consider: three tab asphalt shingles, architectural asphalt shingles, and premium asphalt shingles.

  • Three-Lab Asphalt Shingles: This is the most common type, classified by their cutouts that make them appear as three separate pieces. They are affordable, lightweight, easy to maintain, energy efficient and can last up to 20 years.
  • Architectural Asphalt Shingles: Laminated with an additional layer of asphalt and bonded with an asphalt sealer, they have a more defined structural appearance and are more durable and waterproof than three tab asphalt shingles. They are also energy efficient, add significant value to your home and can last up to 50 years.
  • Premium Asphalt Shingles: As the name suggests, these are deluxe versions of asphalt shingles. They were designed to mimic high quality cedar or slate roofing but are still around 10 times cheaper.

In addition to these three types, there are also different materials that your shingles could be made of:

  • Fiberglass Shingles: Manufactured from a combination of woven fiberglass as a base, an asphalt coating and ceramic granules on top, these materials form a waterproof and UV protective shingle while being extremely lightweight and finished due to their low asphalt content.
  • Organic Mat Based Shingles: This type of asphalt shingle roof has a layer of recycled felt paper as its base. They’re heavier, thicker, and slightly more expensive than fiberglass shingles, but they’re also sturdier and more flexible. Disadvantages include being less fire resistant and prone to warping.

The Pros and Cons of Asphalt Shingle Roofing

When deciding what type of roof you prefer, there are pros and cons to each choice and it is best to know what to expect from each type of roof.

Pros

  • Affordability: Coupled with the financing options we have at Fair Oaks Ranch Roofing Experts, this is a no-brainer for homeowners on a budget. With proper installation and maintenance, a quality roof need not break the bank.
  • Color Variety: There is also a wide variety of colors ranging from neutrals like grays and browns to more assertive colors like blues and multicolored hues. Depending on how much you’re willing to spend, you can even choose asphalt shingles that mimic wood or slate.
  • Ease of Installation: In addition, asphalt shingle roof repair is relatively easy as you can install new shingles over the existing shingles provided there are no more than two coats already underneath and the roofing is in good condition. In general, however, an asphalt shingle roof will last up to 20 years.

Cons

  • Not Environmentally Friendly: Asphalt shingles are not recyclable without emitting potentially harmful emissions, and because they don’t last as long as some other types of roofing, asphalt shingles contribute too much waste.
  • Weather Sensitive: Prolonged temperatures, heat and cold, and extreme weather conditions can cause some types of asphalt shingles to crack and warp.
