Asphalt shingle roofing is a type of roofing material commonly used for residential and commercial buildings. It is one of the most popular roofing options due to its affordability, ease of installation, and durability. Asphalt shingles are made from a fiberglass mat or organic felt, coated with asphalt and mineral granules.

• Base Material: The base material can be either fiberglass or organic felt. Fiberglass shingles are more common nowadays as they are lightweight and fire-resistant. Organic felt shingles, on the other hand, were more prevalent in the past but have become less popular due to their lower fire resistance and greater susceptibility to moisture absorption.

• Asphalt Coating: Both types of shingles have an asphalt coating, which provides waterproofing and durability. The asphalt also acts as an adhesive to bond the mineral granules to the shingle surface.

• Mineral Granules: The top surface of the shingles is covered with small mineral granules. These granules serve multiple purposes. They protect the asphalt from the damaging effects of the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays, provide aesthetic appeal by offering various color options, and improve fire resistance.
• Types of Asphalt Shingles: There are typically two main types of asphalt shingles:

1. 3-Tab Shingles: These are flat and have cutouts along the lower edge, creating the appearance of three separate shingles when installed. They are more affordable but less durable compared to architectural shingles.
2. Architectural Shingles (also known as Dimensional or Laminated Shingles) : These have multiple layers of asphalt, which gives them a textured and three-dimensional appearance. Architectural shingles are more durable, have better wind resistance, and often come with longer warranties.
