Benefits Offered by Architectural Shingles
Improved Construction
Architectural shingles are traditionally constructed from heavy duty water-resistant asphalt that is embedded with ceramic coated granules and has a heavy fiberglass base. These shingles are available in a variety of colors and finishes to replicate a variety of looks. Architectural shingles can be designed to look like cedar shake roofing or slate roofing while offering distinctive color blends, stronger durability, and many other benefits only found in architectural shingles.
Architectural shingles are available in two main style types:
- Wood Shake Style Shingles: These are some of the most attractive shingles available as they replicate the look of natural cedar shingles. They have a thick construction and contain random slots which are just like the cedar shakes they emulate.
- Slate-Look Shingles: These shingles take a more home friendly approach to residential roofing than real slate, and weigh much less so no extra roofing supports are required to support the natural slate looking shingles.
Enhanced Durability
Advanced One Roofing recommends Owens Corning architectural shingles for their durability and quality of construction. They have been developed to not just provide a water-resistant covering for your home, but also to protect against high winds. It is all too common for many homes to lose shingles when there are excessive wind speeds. However, the Owens Corning architectural shingles that we stand behind for our roofing services have been tested for wind speeds up to 130 mph. As our shingles of choice, these are certified to industry recognized standards and are tested by third party laboratories.
Resistance to Algae
It is a natural occurrence that algae often forms on roofs in warm humid areas. While algae growth does not impact the service life of the shingles, algae may cause brown to black streaks on roofs. Many of our Owens Corning architectural shingle options come with a limited warranty coverage for algae resistance for 15 years.
