Laminated Shingles: Why it should be installed by expert shingles roofers

The laminated shingle installed by our expert roofers is a type of shingle that provides greater support as compared to the traditional, 3-tab strip shingle. Laminated shingles are a beefed-up version of 3-tab shingles. It is created by attaching 2 shingles rather than using just one. The shingles are over-lapped and then nailed in place when installing and after the roofing is done the tabs are the only visible component of every shingle. Those unfamiliar with roofing oftentimes assume each tab is one individual shingle. This process adds to the overall strength and durability of the roofing by our expert shingles roofers.

The primary aim of laminated shingles installed by our expert Coquitlam roofer is to offer a more natural and deeper look compared to that provided by a conventional 3 tab shingle which is why they’re sometimes also known as architectural shingles. Laminated shingle creates depth by featuring tabs of various widths which are then separated by large, randomly spaced gaps. These large spaces in between the cut tabs highlight the thickness of the tab, thereby creating a wonderful, visually appealing depth effect.

Some laminated shingles employ diverse tones, shades and contrasting colours to create an even more unique, yet natural appearance. They give the illusion of a wooden or slate roof for only a fraction of the cost. The laminated shingle holds up well against damage from falling objects and is less likely to blow away in the wind. By the heavier construction, with more protective fibreglass, asphalt and granules per square foot, the laminated shingles can resist heat, sun, impact and water damage more effectively and thereby are capable of lasting longer than 3-tab shingles.
