3 Types of Asphalt Roofing Shingles
There are three major types of asphalt roofing shingle products available today – strip shingles, dimensional shingles, and luxury shingles. Each option offers its benefits and drawbacks, so it’s essential to understand what sets them apart.
Whether you want the finest quality shingle available or looking for a budget-friendly option, there is a category of asphalt shingles that will fit your roofing needs. Understanding the differences between these categories is the first step to keeping your home protected and looking great for years to come.
Strip Asphalt Shingles
When it comes to roofing shingles, strip shingles may be the OG. Also called 3-tab shingles, they’re the original and most basic asphalt shingles. But don’t let their plain appearance fool you. These shingles are tried and true. Made from a single layer of asphalt, strip shingles are lighter and come with a lower cost than others. And while designer shingles have gained popularity over the years, many homeowners and home builders still turn to strip shingles to get the job done.
Dimensional Asphalt Shingles
Have you ever heard of dimensional shingles? They’re also known as architectural or laminate shingles, the most popular type of asphalt roofing shingles. These shingles are made with two or more layers of asphalt that are fused, giving them a thicker and richer appearance that replicates the look of wood shake or natural slate roofing. They’re heavier than strip shingles and come with improved warranty protection.
Luxury Asphalt Shingles
Exactly what you would think of when you think of “luxury.” The highest-quality asphalt type shingle out there, luxury shingles are the way to go. These shingles aren’t just heavy-duty – they’re also stunning to look at. With their attention to color and dimension, you’ll swear they’re made of natural wood and slate.
The Benefits of Asphalt Shingles
Modern manufacturing techniques and the physical properties of asphalt have led to the production of numerous specialty asphalt roofing shingles. These shingles are created to fight algae growth, resist hail damage, and offer cool roof color technologies that reduce air conditioning expenses. Some specialty shingles can even help reduce insurance costs, like impact-resistant shingles installed in hail zones. Asphalt shingles are naturally fire-resistant, making them a smart choice for your home.

Elevated Roofing did a great job taking care of my garage. I noticed shingle had blown off the garage and they were able quickly schedule completely redoing the garage around my schedule.

JT and his crew completed the installation of a new roof on our home and did an amazing job! JT was attentive to all our needs and even went above and beyond to protect a nest of cardinal hatchlings that were in direct proximity of any falling debris. The crew took special care in protecting all greenery, porch, decks and the entire area surrounding the house. They all worked together efficiently and effectively removing the old roof and applying the new roof while paying close attention to detail around skylights, the chimney and any other areas of particular concern. JT made sure that we were informed and happy with the progress throughout the entire project and was a delight to work with. Upon completion, the crew did a phenomenal job of clearing away all debris from the site. We are extremely pleased with a job well done. Thank you. Judy and David
