Architectural/Dimensional Shingles vs. 3-Tab Shingles
Architectural shingles, as seen on the graphic to the right, are thicker and have a 3Dtexture, as the shingles are not level or flat, giving the roof a more durable protection to that of three-tab shingles. The “dimensional” shingles tend to have a longer roof life by approximately five years in South Florida (17 years vs. 12 years on average). Additionally, architectural shingles tend to come with longer manufacture’s warranties and are more aesthetically pleasing. Three-tab shingles have more of a flat look, as they are evenly nailed to the roof deck. The only benefit of the 3-tab shingles is they are slightly more wallet friendly for those on a budget.
