Asphalt Shingles
Common shingle designs
- Fiberglass shingles are available in many design options, offering superior fire ratings, better resistance to algae and curling, and no limitations related to weight. This is one important consideration in roofing applications where heavier shingles cannot be used.
- Cedar shingles are composed of natural wood material. While cedar has a long life expectancy, it requires expert installation by an Avenue Road Roofing professional to ensure it is good year after year.
- Metal roofing systems offer extended longevity, but you need to ensure you have the right system for the right application. And you need to ensure that the roofing professional is trained and certified to install the roofing system. Metal roofing comes in many profiles and gauges, and features a baked on enamel finish that requires no painting.
Asphalt shingles are currently the most popular type of residential roof material. When looking for installation or repairs on your asphalt shingle roof, you definitely need an experienced professional.
Asphalt shingles come in two basic types: fiberglass and organic. Organic shingles contain around 40% more asphalt than the fiberglass alternative, which makes them weigh more and gives them excellent durability and blow-off resistance.
The more popular shingles are the fiberglass ones. This may be because they are cheaper and easier to manufacturer than organic shingles, making them more cost effective for the homeowner.
