3 Most Common Asphalt Shingles

 
 
Strip Shingles or Strips AKA 3-Tab Shingles 
 
3-tab are the original and most basic asphalt shingles available. These flat, single-layered shingles are seen all over the country. Seeing that they are only a single layer, they usually weigh and cost less than other asphalt shingles. For quite some time 3-tab shingles were dominating the roofing market basically across the entire U.S. But, today, they are mostly used by home builders that create cheap cookie cutter style residential homes or to replace strip shingles already on the roof. The primary motivating factor in going with 3-tab or strip shingles is they are the least expensive.  
 
Architectural or Laminated Shingles AKA Dimensional Shingles 
 
Architectural shingles are currently the most popular asphalt shingle on homes in St Petersburg, FL and around the rest of the state as well. These shingles are made with multiple layers of asphalt. This multi-layer approach creates a thicker and richer multi-dimensional look that is far more appealing than 3-Tab. Dimensional shingles strive for a more elegant and natural slate look. Normally, this type of shingle has improved warranty protection. 
 
Luxury Shingles
 
Luxury shingles are the best on the market, offering a better appearance and functionality a cut above the popular architectural shingles. Luxury shingles also provide better protection against the elements with increased durability, luxury shingles present the highest quality in coloration and dimensionality.
