3 Tab

Three Tab Shingle

Three tab shingles remain a popular, affordable choice for those who seek weather protection and a large selection of beautiful colors to complement their home. Regular (Three Tab) asphalt shingles have three regularly spaced asphalt tabs, giving the roofing material a very repetitive pattern. These are essentially flat, simple shingles with a uniform shape and size. They use less material than Architectural Shingles, and are therefore lighter and offer lower cost for both the material and the installation

Architectural shingles

Architectural Shingles

Architectural (also known as dimensional, laminated, or composite shingles) shingles are constructed with a heavier base mat, which multiple layers of material are adhered to. This gives the “dimensional” shingles a layered or three-dimensional look which looks similar to cedar shingles, while providing the performance of asphalt. Typically, architectural shingles weigh almost 50% more than the standard Three Tab shingles.
