Tired of your roof looking like this after a few storms? WE HAVE THE ANSWER!!!!! WHY ARCHITECTURAL SHINGLE? Architectural roofing shingles are among the highest quality roofing products made. Architectural roofing shingles provide a beautiful three-dimensional appearance. Some of the most attractive architectural roofing shingles can simulate cedar wood shakes or imitate the look of slate. Since they are much, much lighter then slate these architectural roofing shingles do not require any additional roof support as slate would. Architectural shingles random colors and textures better accent all features of roofs. These shingles are thicker then standard three tab shingle. The result is considerably more weight and longer warranties (up to a lifetime warranty.) Because of their greater thickness, architectural shingles have better wind tear-off resistance. (Some are rated at 120+ miles per hour). They are also highly fire resistant especially if they have a heavy granulated top coat. A heavy layer of top coat granules provides the highest fire rating of Class A. Most asphalt architectural shingle products have a design feature that helps prevent a common aesthetic problem: black streaks caused by algae. This is commonly seen on roofing shingles in areas with high humidity and rainfall totals. Algae-resistant shingles are coated with copper or zinc granules, which leach over time, inhibiting algae growth.
