Roofing shingles come in a wide variety of types, materials and styles, allowing any homeowner to find the most suitable products. Here are some of the most common shingles types:
- Asphalt shingles – the most common and most affordable shingle type is available in three varieties: 3-tab shingles are the thinnest of them all, but they make an attractive and very budget-friendly solution; fiberglass shingles that replace the paper base used in 3-tab varieties with more durable fiberglass and architectural shingles offer longer lifespan and even more variety in terms of style;
- Metal shingles – these stylish shingle varieties can last for over 50 years and they come in an immense variety of colors, shapes and sizes. The material is easy to install and requires very little maintenance, other than regular maintenance and inspections;
- Rubber shingles – this modern material replicates the appearance of asphalt shingles, it can last for about 20-25 years and it can contribute a lot to energy savings;
- Composite plastic shingles – made from recycled plastic, these shingles can imitate the appearance of stone or wood and they offer a durability of up to 20 years. They have very low maintenance needs and faults are also very rare.
