Architectural Shingles
For over three decades, Preferred Roofing has been a frontrunner in the roofing industry, and our commitment to quality has only grown stronger. Founded in 1990, we have consistently introduced innovative and top-notch roofing solutions to our clientele. One of our most popular and premium offerings is the Architectural Shingles. These are not just shingles; they’re a testament to elegance, durability, and superior performance.
Architectural shingles, also known as laminated or dimensional shingles, are a high-quality type of roofing material. Unlike the traditional 3-tab asphalt shingles, architectural shingles are thicker, giving a multi-dimensional appearance to the roof. They mimic the look of authentic wood shake or slate tiles but come at a fraction of the cost.
Features of Architectural Shingle Roofs:
Multi-layered Design
Architectural shingles have multiple layers of asphalt, which not only gives them a unique, elevated look but also makes them more durable and resistant to weather conditions.
Wind Resistance
Their sturdy design offers better resistance against high winds, making them an optimal choice for areas prone to heavy storms and gusts.
UV Protection
These shingles come with special granules that reflect harmful UV rays, thereby increasing the lifespan of the shingle and protecting the home’s interior from sun damage.
Variety of Styles and Colors
They are available in a plethora of styles and colors, allowing homeowners to select a design that complements their home’s aesthetics.
Fire Resistance
Architectural shingles are crafted with fire-resistant properties, offering an added layer of safety to your home.
Weight
Being heavier than the standard 3-tab shingles, they lay flatter and offer better overall coverage.
Aesthetic Appeal
Architectural shingles add a touch of sophistication and luxury to any home. Their dimensional appearance can boost the curb appeal and the property’s overall value.
Durability
Thanks to their multi-layered construction, they tend to last longer than traditional shingles. This means less frequent replacements and maintenance.
Cost-effective
While they might have a slightly higher upfront cost compared to 3-tab shingles, the long-term benefits, reduced maintenance, and longer lifespan make them a cost-effective choice in the long run.
Weather Protection
Homes with architectural shingles enjoy better protection against harsh weather conditions, be it heavy rains, hail, or strong winds.
Enhanced Resale Value
A roof with architectural shingles can significantly enhance the resale value of your home. Potential buyers often recognize the quality and durability associated with this type of roofing.
