What are Asphalt Roof Shingles?

Asphalt roof shingles are designed to protect a building for decades with minimal upkeep. Available in hundreds of colors and styles, a shingle roofing system can improve your building’s curb appeal, lower utility costs, and protect the structural integrity of your building. For these reasons, asphalt roof shingles are the most popular roofing material in North America.

Matrix Roofing + Waterproofing, Inc., offers asphalt shingles that are not entirely made of asphalt. They consist of fiberglass coated with a waterproof later of asphalt and topped with ceramic granules. Contact us today for more information.

With a fiberglass base, we see the following benefits:

Much lighter but just as strong
Less expensive
Additional fire protection

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Types of Asphalt Shingles

Dimensional Asphalt Shingles

Dimensional shingles, also known as architectural or laminated shingles, are two-layered asphalt shingles. Their thickness and depth make them look more like slate or wood shakes.

Benefits of Dimensional Shingles:
- More protection from wind and hail than single-layer shingles – the heaviest grades are able to withstand 120 mph winds
- Longer lifespan than single-layer shingles – 40 years compared to the average 20 years for the single-layer asphalt shingles.
- Versatile – can work on most roof types and are often required by neighborhoods

Presidential Asphalt Shingles

Presidential shingles are a luxury class shingle with the look of a cedar shake roof with the performance of fiberglass construction. We offer tri-laminate presidential shingles – a 3 tab shingle that is one of the finest composition roofing systems in the industry.

Benefits of Presidential Shingles:
- Three layers of material, equating to the thickest, toughest and heaviest shingle
- Extremely fire-resistant
- Fraction of the cost of natural wood shakes
