Designer shingles are actually two layers of shingle material that have been fused together. This gives them a three dimensional look. The process was developed about 10 years ago. Now, roofing professionals combine this concept with creativity to give you designer shingles.
How long do designer shingles last?
The Design and Material of the Shingle Makes a Difference Strip shingles have a single layer. A three-tab shingle is a common variety of a stripe design. These can last anywhere from 10 to 25 years. Dimensional shingles have two or more layers.
What is the difference between architectural shingles and regular shingles?
Essentially, architectural shingles are more substantial than 3-tab shingles. In fact, they are about 50 percent heavier than the 3-tab kind. The base mat on an architectural shingle is thicker than that on a 3-tab shingle. This makes the architectural shingle a sturdier roofing material.
