Asphalt Shingles
 Asphalt
shingles are the most commonly sold
shingles in the industry, and
statistics show that they can be
easily termed the most dominant
variety on the roofing market.
Relatively cheaper than most other
types of shingles, (roughly at
around $0.80 per square foot) they
are vastly used all across the USA
and Canada. But, as far as costs of
asphalt shingles are concerned, they
would generally vary according to
geographical location, altitude of a
building, and slant of the roof.
Asphalt shingles come in a wide
range of colors and designs and most
are quite durable. Records say that
these shingles can me easily
maintained and repaired as well.
Broadly available in two basic types
like organic and fiberglass, they
can be further classified into a
number of other types like the basic
three-tab shingle, the no cutout
shingle, the dimensional shingle,
the angle-lap shingle, the
interlocking shingle, and others
that look like cedar or slate.
Organic shingles are mostly used in
colder temperatures like in North
America and Canada. Fiberglass
shingles, on the other hand are
popular in warmer temperatures like
in the southern and western American
states.
Before making one's choice of
asphalt shingles, it is extremely
important to know and decide what
one will be buying. Proper
budgeting, the climates of the
place, slope of one’s roof, and
other issues have to be carefully
considered. The warranty of a
particular product should also be
reviewed and judged properly. It is
always best to buy shingles that
meet manufacturing standards
perfectly. This may sometimes be
heavier on one's pocketbook, but one
should rather be safe than sorry.
Installation of asphalt shingles is
fairly hassle-free. Although
professional roofing experts should
always be consulted, asphalt
shingles maybe installed by the
house owner himself, even if he
isn't an expert. The shingles can be
easily installed on any existing
roof.
Asphalt shingles with their easy
availability, durability, and fairly
simple installation process, are
quite naturally the most widely used
and economically feasible roofing
option for millions.
