How Roofing Shingles are Made.

Three-Tab Shingle Construction

Three-tab shingles are the roofing industry's standard, consisting of two layers of asphalt around a Fiberglas® mat core covered with ceramic mineral granules, notched into three integrated pieces, or tabs.



Three-Tab Shingle

  1. Shingle sealant
  2. Mineral surface granules
  3. Weathering-grade asphalt
  4. Fiberglass mat
  5. Weathering-grade asphalt

Laminated Shingle Construction

Laminated shingles, also called "Architectural" shingles, are created by bonding two asphalt shingles together, giving them a distinct three-dimensional appearance. Laminates are generally heavier in weight, and allow for greater design flexibility.
