Otherwise known as “dimensional” shingles, now more commonly referred to as “architectural” shingles or roofing system. These architectural shingles are some of the best Roofing Materials on the market today — outside of getting into very expensive designer shingles. If you are looking to have your current roof replaced, you won’t go wrong with spending just a little bit more money, typically about 12%-15% higher than standard builders-grade 3Tab shingles, and install an architectural roof.

If you’ll take notice to the new-construction building in your area, especially developing areas in Greenville, Spartanburg, Taylors, Greer, Duncan, Moore, you’ll probably notice that most builders and developers are installing this kind of architectural roofing instead of the 3Tabs. The architectural roofs are vastly more atheistically pleasing than most other Roof Shingles. These roofs are superior in that they are thicker and have higher wind rating — not to mention a Class A fire rating.
5 Benefits To Choosing An Architectural Roofing System Instead of a 3Tab Roofing System.
1. Architectural roofing shingles provide up to 120 miles per hour of wind resistance. Even the highest quality three tab shingles can only offer to resist 60 to 80 miles per hour wind. You can see a 110 mile per hour wind test here using GAF Timberline Architectural shingles.
2. Architectural shingles are manufactured to be a better quality shingles. They are substantially thicker yet, they don’t add too much more weight than traditional 3Tabs roofs, to the deck of your roof.
3. Another advantage of architectural roofing shingles over 3tab is installation itself. They are much easier to install which leads to less time roofers spend on your roof.
4. Architectural roofing shingles, if installed properly and according to manufacturers specifications, should last you up to 30-40 years! That is unless you have any storm damage — such as high winds, large hail, or falling debris. The minimum warranty for architectural shingles is 30 years, but should you choose the highest quality it could last up to 75 years. Standard 3tab roofing shingles are expected to last for 20+ years.
5. Architectural roofing shingles can give your home a three dimensional look to it. This is atheistically much better than flat, 3Tab roof lines on your home.
6. More colors to choose from. If you are choosing an architectural roof, you will have a much better variety of rich, warm colors to compliment your home.
