Why You Should Choose Architectural Asphalt Roof Shingles


With so many different shingle designs, colors and materials in the market place today, it’s a very tough choice to make. One of the coolest styles is the architectural roofing shingles that are made to look like other types of shingling material. They can have a look of cedar shakes, tile and even slate, but without having to worry about being a professional to install them correctly.
The architectural roofing shingles are made from the traditional asphalt and either organic or fiberglass blends. They are a very cost efficient way to improve the over look of your home. They come in a two piece construction that is glued together in the middle, and have a 3-D look of cedar, tile or slate shingles. Another benefit aside from the look is the fact they are easy to install and have a very forgiving design to work with.

Another very popular choice in the architectural roofing shingles market is the ones made of metal. They have become increasingly popular because they can not only take on many different looks like the composite materials, they can come with guarantees of up to fifty years. You will definitely be spending more on the metal type of roofing shingles, but with a fifty year guarantee, it may well be worth spending the extra money.

Metal architectural roofing shingles are very light weight, and once they are installed, they require little, if any maintenance over their life span. The advancements of the metal shingles have progressed to the point where they can imitate the look of tile, slate, and cedar materials.

Although the metal roofing shingles that are architectural designed are light weight, they are very strong, 100% water resistant and are able to stand up against very strong winds, and weather conditions of any types. They have become a very popular roofing material in places like Florida and Atlanta, where torrential rains, thunderstorms and hurricanes are prevalent. They are also very prevalent in cities like Chicago, where they are well known for their extremely windy conditions. You can also find these metal roofing shingles available in an insulated version to add to the over energy efficiency of your home.

Asphalt roof shingles are one of the most popular types of roofing materials. They are either the fiberglass or organic type and will normally last for an average of 17 years.
