Architectural roof shingles are also known as three dimensional shingles or laminate shingles. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Architectural shingles were introduced to the home construction market in the 1970\u2019s in the continued effort to produce an asphalt shingle product that had the higher end quality look of slate or cedar wood shake shingles, without the negatives of breakage, insect damage or weight.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Today architectural shingles come in a wide variety of colors, styles, and warranties.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Architectural shingles have a unique visual appearance. Instead of a running row pattern that is observed with 3-tab shingles, architectural shingles have a cedar shake texture appearance that give a more dramatic look to a home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Architectural shingles are also excellent for hiding roof imperfections due to their textured look. Many home builders prefer to use them today due to this benefit alone. In addition, from some builders\u2019 perspectives, architectural shingles are also easier to install then 3-tab shingles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Architectural shingles are also excellent for more complicated and higher end roof lines, such as hip roofs, or roofs that include turrets and gables.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Architectural Shingle Construction<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Architectural shingles are manufactured using a mat base that is heavier than the standard 3-tab asphalt shingle. The mat base is made from either organic materials or fiberglass material coated with asphalt. Colored granules are then added to the top surface. Unlike 3-tab shingles which have a \u00bc\u201d notched groove every 12 inches, architectural shingles are typically solid across their entire length.\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"47%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6586\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Arcchitectural-Shingles.png\" alt=\"Architectural shingle benefits over 3-tab shingles.\" width=\"282\" height=\"179\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Multiple layers are overlapped and laminated together to produce the textured appearance found in architectural shingles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Architectural shingles come in many colors, textures and patterns. Some architectural shingles are designed to replicate the look of slate shingles or cedar wood shakes, but without the same high cost, heavy weight or susceptibility to insect damage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Due to the heavier mat base, architectural shingles are heavier than standard 3-tab shingles, thus making them less susceptible to curling and wind damage. Some higher end architectural shingles are rated for winds up to 120mph.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Typically 3-tab shingles weight about 240 lbs per square, where as an architectural shingle square can weigh 100 to 200 lbs more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Architectural shingles that have heavy coats of granules are also highly fire resistant.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Algae Resistant Architectural Shingles<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">When looking for architectural shingles make sure you select ones that are algae resistant. This is particularly important for north facing roofs with light color shingles and in high humidity areas. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Early on architectural shingles had a susceptibility to algae and you typically would see black algae streaks running down the roof lines. Fortunately most types today are algae resistant. Most architectural shingles that are manufactured today are coated with zinc or copper granules which help to prevent algae growth.<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"49%\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/asphalt-shingle-roofing-bid-sheet\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6302\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Asphalt_Shingle_Roofing_Bid_Sheet_CP-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Asphalt Shingle Roofing Bid Sheet\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Asphalt_Shingle_Roofing_Bid_Sheet_CP-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Asphalt_Shingle_Roofing_Bid_Sheet_CP.jpg 384w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Use this <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/asphalt-shingle-roofing-bid-sheet\/\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\">asphalt shingle roofing checklist<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span> and save time and money on your new roof installation.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Architectural Shingle Warranties<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Due to their rugged construction, architectural shingles usually have longer life warranties than 3-tab shingles.

As a result, the overall roofing costs are considerably higher using architectural shingles.
