You may have noticed a new kind of Lee’s Summit roofing shingle in your neighborhood. Perhaps you are aware that the neighbors have “better looking” roofs, but you’re not exactly sure why. Architectural shingles are the answer to a home’s wondrous curb appeal! In the past, everyone had traditional three-tab shingles that appeared very flat and fit together neatly like a jig-saw puzzle. Today, everyone is choosing more distinctive and dramatic architectural shingles, a high-quality asphalt roofing product.
What Does A Lee’s Summit Roofing Job With Architectural Shingles Look Like?These shingles are composed of a heavy fiber glass mat base with ceramic-coated mineral granules embedded in water-resistant asphalt. Architectural shingles are thicker than conventional asphalt shingles, so you can expect a longer warranty and product lifespan. In fact, the average architectural shingle lasts 50 years, compared to the 25 years of a three-tab shingle.
In addition to the impressive curb appeal produced by architectural shingles, you’ll also rest easy knowing that this type of Lee’s Summit roofing comes with more weather-resistant design features. For example, all architectural shingles are coated with copper or zinc granules, which inhibit algae growth in areas with high humidity and rainfall. Furthermore, architectural shingles have better wind tear-off resistance, with many shingles rated up to 120 miles per hour. The heavy topcoat granules offers a Class A fire rating, which is the highest possible honor.
