SHINGLES
Not all shingles are created equal!
Different types of shingles have different qualities that make them suitable for specific environments and weather conditions.
In Texas, where strong winds and storms are a regular occurrence, it is important to choose the right type of shingle to protect your roof.
While 3-Tab shingles may be a cheaper option, they are not the best choice for areas with severe weather conditions. This is because they are not as durable as other types of shingles and are more likely to get damaged or blown off during high winds.
Instead, we always recommend going with at least a good quality laminated architectural shingle. These shingles have multiple layers, giving them greater durability and a longer lifespan than 3-Tab shingles. They are also designed to withstand strong winds and are less likely to get damaged or blown off during storms.
Architectural Shingle: Also called, Laminated,
Comp or Composition (Most Common)
These are the go to shingle for the majority of homes in Texas. With wind ratings between 110MPH and 130MPH depending on the fastening pattern, and manufacturer of the shingle chosen. Some brands have special formulations to prevent algae growth, or the black streaking you see on some roofs such as Atlas.
Class 3 shingles are designed to withstand moderate hail damage & Class 4 shingles are designed to withstand severe hail damage
The main difference between a standard laminated shingle and a hail impact resistant shingle is the thickness and strength of the shingle. Hail impact resistant shingles are made with a special layer of polymer material that helps to absorb the impact of hailstones, preventing them from damaging the shingle and causing leaks.
Class 3 hail impact resistant shingles such as the IKO Dynasty and Nordic series have passed a tests in which they are hit with a 1.75-inch steel ball at 90 mph without sustaining damage. Class 4 hail impact resistant shingles have passed a more rigorous test in which they are hit with a 2-inch steel ball at 90 mph without sustaining damage.
Designer Shingles
The creme de la creme of Asphalt Shingles, these shingles are typically much thicker, heavier, and have many patterns and designs complimenting the most luxurious, and castle like homes in Texas.
When it comes to Designer shingles, some are rated Class 4, and others are not. If hail resistance is what you are looking for be sure to check with your representative before making a final selection.
