What is a Laminated shingle?
A laminated shingle refers to a shingle that has two layers of fiberglass – reinforced asphalt laminated with a fiberglass base into a single unit. This single unit construction effectively seals out rain, sleet, snow, ice and wind without curling, rotting warping or losing tabs. The laminations process doubles the layers of shingle, giving your home’s roof a thicker, more high-profile look than any ordinary shingle can. Other names for laminated shingles are dimensional shingles and architectural shingles. Heavy weight laminated shingles are a great replacement option for cedar shake roofs. Laminated shingles are U. L. Wind Resistant and Class “A” fire-rated. The impressive definition look enhances your homes appearance and value.
