Find the Right Types of Roof Shingles to Protect Any Home
Roof shingles are an essential part of most homes. Roof shingles need periodic replacement to keep your roof and home protected from damage. An asphalt shingle roof is a popular choice because it’s protective, cost efficient and relatively easy to install. When considering asphalt shingles, you’ll find architectural shingles and standard 3-tab or three-tab shingles. Architectural roof shingles are thicker and heavier than standard 3-tab roof shingles, adding depth and protection. You’ll find architectural options from top brands such as GAF and Owens Corning roof shingles.
At Lowe’s, we offer asphalt shingles in several colors so that you can select an option that suits your home’s aesthetic. Standard roof shingle colors include uniform black, natural brown and sleek gray, but other shingle colors include shades of red, green, blue and more.
Metal panels, sometimes called metal roof shingles, can last 40 to 70 years before needing replacement. They can have the look of modern sheets or have a more classic look. Metal roof shingles can hold up against extreme winds and even fires. They’re also an energy-efficient choice.
If you’re replacing old shingles, consider your style preferences and environment as you choose between different types of roof shingles and roofing materials.
