Asphalt Shingle Roof

Why Are Asphalt Shingle Roofs So Popular?

As one of the most common roofing materials across the United States, you may be wondering what exactly makes this type of roofing system so popular. Asphalt shingle roofs are an aesthetically pleasing option that are available in a wide range of styles and colors. But this type of roofing system didn’t become so popular based on looks alone. Asphalt shingles are also a highly versatile option that are suitable for a wide range of roof designs that vary in shape, angle, and slope. This versatility makes asphalt shingles one of the few types of roofing that are suitable for just about any sloped roof design out there.
From a performance perspective, asphalt shingles also offer great durability and protection in a wide range of climates. They hold up well in high winds, have energy-efficient qualities, and can withstand a reasonable amount of impact from hail and other inclement weather. While they’re not the most durable roofing system out there, they offer great performance at a better price point than most other types of roofing.
All of these features contribute to the ongoing popularity of asphalt shingle roof systems.
