Premium shingles, also known as architectural or laminate shingles, are the most common asphalt shingles. These products are manufactured with two or more layers of asphalt to replicate wood shake or natural slate roofing aesthetics. Premium shingles are typically heavier than strip shingles, and have improved warranty protection.

Deluxe shingles are the high-end luxury asphalt shingle option. The most realistic representation of the old-world wood shake and quarried slate roofing, these ‘heavyweights’ provide enhanced protection from weathering, and offer the highest levels of quality, coloration, and dimensionality.

Also known as 3-tab shingles due to the cut of the shingle, strip shingles are the original and most basic asphalt shingles. Made from a single layer of asphalt with a flat appearance that typically offers a slate look, they generally weigh and cost less than other asphalt shingles.
