Asphalt shingles are one of the most widely used roofing materials due to their affordability, durability, and ease of installation. Available in a range of styles and colors, they provide versatility to complement various architectural designs. These shingles are composed of a fiberglass or organic mat coated with asphalt and mineral granules, offering reliable weather resistance and protection against UV rays. With proper maintenance, asphalt shingles can last 20 to 30 years, making them a practical choice for both residential and commercial roofing applications.
