Shingles categories

The basics on roofing shingles every building owner should know before making a buying decision. There are two main categories of shingles:

• organic asphalt made with paper, felt mat, and ceramic granule coating
• in-organic or fibreglass shingles, which are saturated in asphalt with a ceramic granular coating .

Price will vary, depending on length of warranty and design of shingles.

Common shingle designs

Common shingle designs are as follows:

• Laminate shingles offer extended manufacturer warranties, enhanced construction, heavier weight (which provides better resistance to wind tear-off), and a wider range of design options and colors, which enhances the aesthetics and curb appeal of your home.
  
• Fibreglass shingles, available in many design options, offer superior fire ratings, better resistance to algae and curling, and no limitations related to weight, an important consideration in roofing applications where heavier shingles cannot be used.
  
• Three-tab strip shingles are less expensive to purchase and are typically considered builder grade.
  Cedar shingles are composed of natural wood material. While cedar has a long life expectancy, it requires expert installation by an WM Roofing  professional to ensure it performs year after year.

Composite shingles are quite similar to other conventional and traditional shingle materials.

You also have a lot of options regarding their looks. Just like other traditionally used roofing materials they come in a wide variety of colors and styles. The only difference lies in the fact that in comparison to asphalt shingle roof materials and other traditional shake, composite roof shingles are very durable. They also have a longer life as compared to other traditionally used roof shingle materials. It is because of its dual quality and ability of not only being durable and lasting much longer but at the same time also being stylish with amazing looks that composite roof shingles are the most popular and preferred choice for roofing materials for all the people world wide.

Popularity of Composite Roof Shingles

Another reason for the huge demand and popularity of composite shingles is due to their high durability. They last much longer than conventionally used materials. This can be proved by the fact that, composite shingles have generally a warranty term of about 30 to 50 years. Whereas on the other hand the traditional shingles have a life span of anything between 15 to a maximum of twenty years. In fact some manufacturers have such trust on their composite shingles that they even claim a lifelong warranty. This is quite an impressive statement given that roof shingles are exposed to such rough treatment on your roof top. So you can well imagine the quality of products yourself.
