Architectural Asphalt Shingles
Standard architectural shingles (also called dimensional or laminated shingles) are the most popular type of asphalt roofing used on homes today. These shingles are thicker and more durable than traditional 3-tab shingles and provide a layered, dimensional appearance that enhances curb appeal.
What Makes Them “Architectural”?
- Multi-layer construction for added strength and durability
- Dimensional appearance with deeper shadow lines
- Improved wind resistance compared to basic 3-tab shingles
- Longer lifespan, typically 25–30+ years depending on the product
Why Homeowners Choose Them
Architectural shingles offer an ideal balance of affordability, durability, and visual appeal. They provide a clean, modern look while standing up well to Midwest weather conditions, including wind and moderate hail.
For many homeowners, architectural asphalt shingles are the best value roofing option, offering long term performance, strong manufacturer warranties, and a cost effective alternative to premium roofing materials.
