When replacing a roof, homeowners have many options to choose from. Today, homeowners can install metal roofing units that provide long term defense against the elements, they can opt for a tile roof that creates a unique aesthetic for the home, or make use of shingles that are flexible and look great.
Shingles are a clear winner when it comes to refitting a roof in the United States (via Storm Master). U.S. homes are overwhelmingly built with shingle roofs, and homeowners often make use of asphalt shingles when installing a new roof regardless of whether this style was used in the initial construction or not.
But shingles come in many varieties, and even when considering an asphalt shingle roofing installation there is an important consideration to be made with regard to 3-tab shingles or architectural shingles. At first glance, the only difference might seem to be the way that these roofing elements layer on top of one another or sit next to each other.
