Architectural shingles are the most popular roofing shingles used today. They are thicker, stronger, and more wind resistant than traditional 3-tab shingles.

Why They’re Called Architectural

These shingles are layered to create a dimensional look that mimics wood shake roofing while offering better durability.

• Higher wind resistance (110–130 mph)

• Better curb appeal

• Improved warranties
