Asphalt shingles, known by various names such as "Composition Shingles," "Composite Shingles," "3-tab Shingles," and "Laminated Shingles," are a familiar sight on roofs across the United States, adorning nearly 80% of homes. Composed of fiberglass or cellulose mat, asphalt, and mineral granules, these shingles are prized for their affordability and surprising style versatility. Their grippy sandpaper-like coating makes them the safest option for homes requiring frequent roof access, such as for leaf blowing or branch removal.
Asphalt shingles are engineered to be thin and lightweight, making them highly adaptable to various types of roofs. Their flexible design allows them to conform to the contours of almost any roof shape or structure with ease.
Asphalt shingles benefit from mass production, which effectively lowers costs for consumers. Additionally, their straightforward installation process makes them the easiest option to install, saving both time and money on labor costs.
For homes necessitating regular roof debris cleaning, asphalt shingles represent the safest choice. Their grippy mineral texture ensures ample traction, even when wet, offering a secure surface to stand on during maintenance tasks.
Asphalt shingles derive their color from tiny ceramic granules, crafted from igneous rock and coated with a clay silicate mixture, offering limitless color possibilities. These granules undergo a process of ceramic coating and treatment for adhesion before being meticulously applied to the shingle surface.

Also known as laminate shingles and dimensional shingles, these roofing materials boast a thicker profile compared to traditional options due to their double-layered and dimensional design. This distinctive construction, sometimes referred to as "dragon's teeth," adds depth and texture to the roof's appearance.
These shingles are versatile, as they can be manufactured to replicate the look of cedar, slate, or other natural roof materials.
