They are also known as laminate shingles. They look better, perform more efficiently and last longer than ordinary 3-tab shingles. Learn more about it here:
Architectural Shingles
These shingles have a distinctive three-dimensional appearance that gives them depth. Their shadow lines will make your roof look fantastic once installed. They also come in many different colors and designs to complement any kind of home style. Unlike typical 3-tab shingles, they have an old-fashioned charm. The tabs on shingles also have various sizes and shapes to further give them a dimensional look.
Architectural shingles are also tougher and they last longer than 3-tab shingles. They are thicker and some architectural shingle products can weigh up to 50% more than 3-tab shingles. That’s why these shingles are rated to resist strong winds of up to 110-130 mph. As an experienced roofing and siding contractor , we install architectural shingles from trustworthy manufacturers like GAF. GAF architectural shingles are manufactured using Advanced Protection® Technology for even better performance.
