The Three Main Types of Shingles

Strip Shingles 

Also commonly referred to as 3-tab shingles or strips are the original and most basic asphalt shingles. These flat, single-layered shingles offer a slate-like look. Seeing that they are only a single layer, they usually weigh and cost less than other asphalt shingles. Over 30 years ago, strip shingles dominated the market country-wide. However, today they are most often used by home builders that manufacture inexpensive homes or replace strip shingles already on the roof. The primary benefit of strip shingles is the low price point. 

Architectural Shingles 

Also known as dimensional or laminate shingles, architectural shingles are currently the most popular asphalt shingle in Arlington and around the country as a whole. These shingles are made with two or more layers of asphalt. This multi-layer approach creates a thicker and richer multi-dimensional look. The look architectural shingles strive for is that of wood shake and natural slate roofs. Usually, this type of shingle has improved warranty protection. 

Luxury Shingles

Luxury shingles are the best-laminated shingles on the market, offering better aesthetics and functionality superior to the popular architectural shingles. Aside from being known as the heavyweights of the asphalt shingle world, by providing better protection against the elements, luxury shingles present the highest quality in coloration and dimensionality. For those seeking the old-world wood shake or quarried slate roofing look but with asphalt shingles, this is the way to go!

Pros & Cons of Asphalt Shingle Roofs

 Pros: 

Affordable - The bottom line is the reason asphalt roofing is so popular not only in Arlington but also in the entire U.S. is that it is the most affordable option. Asphalt roofs can potentially last up to 20 years, however in Florida with hurricanes, often asphalt roofs won’t last that long. 

Effective - While sure asphalt roofs are not as durable as other roofing materials such as tile, metal or cedar shake, they still hold up quite well. So when you have decent enough durability with low cost, that’s what makes asphalt so accessible. 

Variety - There is a decent amount of variety when it comes to asphalt shingles in terms of color and style. Depending on the type of shingle you go with, architectural or luxury shingles offer much greater flexibility in design than strip shingles. 

Cons:

Durability & Extreme Weather Performance - The reality is asphalt does not perform that well with extreme weather. In Arlington FL, that weather comes in the form of both extreme heat and hurricanes. Excessive heat can cause the shingles to crack and the color to fade. While an asphalt roof can last 20 years or more, that is usually the case in areas that don’t experience such large natural disasters like hurricanes. 

Hurricanes feel like they don’t need too much explanation as to how they can damage an asphalt shingle home. Between the extreme wind and substantial amounts of water, it’s very easy for a shingled roof to get damaged during a hurricane. Thankfully, most homeowner insurance will cover a roof replacement if the damage is proven to have taken place during the storm. 

Not Environmentally Friendly - Asphalt is a semi-solid form of petroleum that is not suitable for the environment. Besides, there is a large amount of energy wasted when producing asphalt shingles and produces greenhouse gas emissions. Other roofs such as metal are 100% recyclable and eco friendly. 

Not As Beautiful - Not everyone cares about how stylish or beautiful the roof over their head is as long as it does what it’s supposed to do. However, for those who want that extra curb appeal, the reality is in Arlington FL tile roofs are far more aesthetically pleasing.
