What are laminated shingles?
laminated shingles, also known as architectural shingles, are a type of shingle that provides greater support than traditional 3-tab shingles and gives the illusion of slate or wooden roofs for just a fraction of the cost. Laminated shingles are formed by connecting two shingles together instead of using only one. This process increases their overall strength and durability.
The original shingle is created by attaching the asphalt to the paper mat and adding granules to add the color and the desired appearance of the shingle. SLBL fibers can be used to strengthen shingles. Although these shingles are cheap and common for roofing, their lifetime differs dramatically depending on the amount of harsh weather to which they are exposed. Wear elements can fade or tear shingles. Laminated shingles consist of attmatings with each other two shingles and creating a pattern that mimics the appearance of a wooden or slate roof. This is desirable for both its stability against elements and its expensive appearance. LaminateThe shingle can also use fiberglass for amplification.
laminated shingles hold well against damage with falling objects and is less likely to blow out in the wind. The appearance of shingles is also convincing. From a distance, the viewer sees a wood or a slate roof instead of mere asphalt shingles. Although the traditional 3-tab asphalt shingles tried to give this desired look, they were too flat and not created an illusion. Laminate shingles use both their thickness and rounded cards and fake shadow lines to give them their appearance.
Although the term usually refers to two shingles glued together, there are triple laminated shingles. These shingles are due to two E even thicker layers. Real shadows and depth are formed from the thickness and the illusion of the top roof increases. Triple laminate shingles are more durable and thanks to their third layer of protection are better on the wind and weather.
Laminated shingles weigh more than belt shingles. When installing laminated shingles, it is important to first remove old shingles, as the extra weight can be too large for the roof. For both double and three -fold laminate shingles, the house owner should remember that he may need longer roof nails to install shingles on the roof properly.
