Asphalt shingles are the most popular residential roofing option in North America. These shingles are built to be durable, lasting decades while requiring minimal upkeep. They are a top choice for homeowners and building professionals alike because they are affordable, inexpensive to install, and come in a variety of colors and styles that can match almost any taste.
Strip shingles, also known as three-tab shingles, are the most basic and affordable option. They are named for the cut of the shingle, and come in the form of a single, flat layer of asphalt. CertainTeed offers multiple strip shingle options, including our XT 25 model.
Dimensional shingles, also known as architectural or laminate shingles, are the most prevalent roofing choice for American homes. They are made from two or more laminated layers of asphalt to create a multi-dimensional look which replicates the appearance of natural wood shake roofing or slate tile roofing. CertainTeed’s Landmark® shingles are a top model for this option.
Luxury shingles are the high-end laminate shingles. They offer greater protection from the elements, richer color blends and gradations, and sophisticated designs that add value and beauty to an exterior. CertainTeed’s Grand Manor® and Carriage House® shingles are luxury asphalt products.
