Asphalt shingles are also known as composition or composite shingles. They consist of a composite material made up of a mix of asphalt, fiberglass or cellulose material, and mineral granules. 


Asphalt shingles have several advantages:

  • Easy installation
  • Lightweight
  • Durable

There are different types of asphalt shingles,—including strip shingles, laminate shingles, and luxury shingles. We are Waterloo Regions choice contractor and offer a variety of styles and provide a roofing solution suitable for all tastes and budgets.

The Benefits of Using Asphalt Shingles

There are several benefits of shingle roofs over other types of roofs such as metal or concrete tile roofs. These include:

  • Durability: Asphalt shingles can withstand weathering quite well. Asphalt is a material that can withstand high winds, temperature fluctuations, rain, and snow.
  • Excellent Quality and Lower Cost: Asphalt shingles are generally lower in cost than roof tiles made up of other types of material such as wood or metal. Moreover, they offer great value for money as they are durable and easy to maintain.
  • Versatile: Asphalt shingles can work on many different types of roofs regardless of size, shape, or contour. Hence, they work well in both simple and more complex roof designs.
  • Designs: There are several different designs available in asphalt shingles including strip or 3-tab shingles through to premium shingles that have the appearance of wood or slate. 

Asphalt Shingle Designs We Offer

There are three main types of asphalt shingle designs:


  • Strip/3-tab: Strip shingles are also known as 3-tab shingles because of their cut. They are produced from one layer of asphalt and, therefore, are very light and look very flat. These are the cheapest option and so are used in basic, cost-effective designs or builds.  Most builders have moved away from installing 3-tab shingles all together 
  • Dimensional: Also known as architectural or laminate shingles, these have become one of the most commonly used shingles today. They are made with two or more layers of asphalt, making them heavier and allowing them to offer greater protection against winds and hail when compared to strip shingles. They also tend to give a multi-dimensional appearance due to their thickness. 


Luxury or Premium: These are the highest-quality shingles available. They are made from multiple layers of asphalt and are the heaviest of the different types of asphalt shingles. As such, they offer the greatest protection against weathering and are beautiful to look at, appearance-wise.
