Why You Should Choose 30 Year Architectural Shingles over
Traditional 3 Tab Shingles
The two most frequently offered shingles are 3 tab shingles and architectural shingles.
Many homes are roofed with traditional 3 tab shingles but the truth is that architectural
shingles are growing in popularity among homeowners. Below, we will talk about the
difference in these two popular roofing materials.
3 Tab Shingles vs. 30 Year Architectural Shingles:
3 Tab Shingles
3 tab shingles are made up of three individual tabs that are
12 inches wide. These shingles are asphalt based and work
by shedding water to the shingle below. The life expectancy
of 3 tab shingles is usually around 15 years and they can
withstand winds up to 60mph.
Architectural Shingles
Architectural shingles come with a minimum 30 year
warranty provided by the shingle manufacturer. Many even
offer a lifetime warranty. Architectural shingles differ from 3
tab shingles because they are in fact two strips of asphalt
that have been laminated together. The tabs on these
shingles vary in widths and have several shades of color to
give them a dimensional appearance. Architectural shingles can withstand wind up to
130mph when installed correctly.
Architectural shingles are without a doubt superior to 3 tab shingles. They can even
increase the value of your home as long as they are installed properly. The main reason
3 tab shingles are still available for purchase is because they do cost less than
architectural shingles. When you look at the lifespan and durability, architectural
shingles are worth the extra cost.
