Asphalt Shingle Roofs
Asphalt shingle roofs are affordable, durable and are relatively easy to install, making them a popular option with homeowners. Available in a variety of colors and styles, they can accommodate any individual's taste. There are two primary types of asphalt shingles once can choose from for their home, organic and fiber glass. Organic shingles have nearly double the amount of asphalt in their composition, making them heavier and a plus for wind damage as compared to fibreglass shingles. Organic shingles are made by a water proofing coat of felt material that is dipped into the asphalt. Asphalt shingles are made by placing a fiberglass mat on the shingle, and then layering with a thin coat of asphalt. The fiberglass shingle is durable and waterproof.
Depending upon the geographic location of your property, your style preferences and your budget constraints, both organic and fibreglass asphalt shingle roofs provide great options for your consideration.
