COMPOSITION ROOFS
Fiberglass
composition is the most common roofing choice in this area for
residential homes and comes in a variety of colors and styles.
Composition shingles have a fiberglass reinforcing mat at the
center. This mat is coated with asphalt and mineral fillers. The
fillers adhere to the fiberglass and the asphalt surrounds the
structure, making it waterproof. Its top surface is embedded with a
layer of ceramic granules.
Composition
roofing falls into three major categories: 3-tab, Laminate,
and Premium shingles:

3-Tab Roofs
The
least expensive option is known as "3-Tab"
shingles. This type of roofing has been refined over the
years. It appears as a one layer product with a distinct
pattern of tabs. This pattern is caused by vertical slots
notched into the visible part of each shingle, splitting
the lower half of the shingle into three tabs.
3-Tab
Composition roofing comes with manufactures' warranties of
20, 25 and 30 years.

Laminate
Laminates
(also known as dimensionals ) have become the most
common choice in composition roofing. They are a
more recent variant and are superior to the basic
3-Tab. Laminates have a second tabbed layer fused to
a base shingle, effectively doubling the materials
thickness. They have a strong resemblance to wood
shake although they are available in a wide variety
of colors.
Laminates
come with manufacturers' warranties of 25, 30 and 40
years
