The Different Types of Shingle Roofing

In Florida, there are several types of shingle roofing materials commonly used for residential and commercial buildings. Here are some of the different types of shingle roofing commonly found in Florida:

1. Asphalt Shingles: Asphalt shingles are the most popular and widely used roofing material in Florida. They are affordable, durable, and come in a variety of colors and styles. Asphalt shingles are composed of a fiberglass mat coated with asphalt and mineral granules.

2. Architectural Shingles: Architectural shingles, also known as dimensional or laminate shingles, are a premium type of asphalt shingle. They have a multi-dimensional appearance that adds depth and visual interest to the roof. Architectural shingles are thicker and more durable than traditional asphalt shingles.

3. Metal Shingles: Metal shingles are becoming increasingly popular in Florida due to their durability, longevity, and energy efficiency. They are typically made of steel or aluminum and can mimic the appearance of other roofing materials like wood shakes or tile. Metal shingles are resistant to fire, wind, and impact, making them suitable for Florida's climate.

4. Tile Shingles: Tile shingles, especially concrete and clay tiles, are commonly seen in Mediterranean-style homes in Florida. They offer excellent durability, energy efficiency, and resistance to fire, insects, and rot. Tile shingles are available in various styles, including Spanish, Mission, and Barrel tiles.

5. Wood Shingles and Shakes: While less common in Florida due to their susceptibility to moisture and humidity, wood shingles and shakes can still be found in some areas. Cedar and redwood are popular choices for their natural beauty and insulation properties. Proper installation and maintenance are crucial to prevent issues like rot and mold in Florida's humid climate.

6. Synthetic Shingles: Synthetic shingles are manufactured roofing materials designed to mimic the appearance of natural materials like slate, wood, or tile. They are typically made of rubber, plastic, or polymer materials. Synthetic shingles offer durability, lower maintenance requirements, and improved resistance to weather conditions. We use Spanish Barrel Tile Roofing, with the look of clay, but the benefits of synthetic material.

When choosing a shingle roofing material in Florida, it's essential to consider factors such as durability, energy efficiency, resistance to wind and water, and compliance with local building codes. Consulting with a professional roofing contractor can help you make an informed decision based on your specific needs and budget.
