Architectural roof shingles Edmonton & Calgary

Architectural shingle installation, done right.

The design and quality of architectural roof shingles varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. The word "architectural" means the material is engineered to appeal to architectural interests. The architectural roofing material’s contours and dimensions appeal to the market’s aesthetic desires. These designs are less like flat shingles with straight lines, and look more like shakes or tiles, without the heavy initial costs or high maintenance costs. They have a much-improved lifespan on the asphalt roofing side.

Benefits of architectural shingles in Alberta

Architectural shingle material comes from laminating 2 layers of shingles together in a specific cut and pattern to give the shingle more dimensions. Architectural shingles are also now made with fibreglass mats instead of the organic mats used in older technology (which led to the term "organic shingles"). Architectural shingles now also last much longer and are easier to install than traditional 3-tab shingles and organic shingles. Architectural shingles, at the entry level, cost just as much to supply and install as well which is one of the reasons they have taken over the asphalt shingle market. The range of types of  asphalt shingles in the architectural category usually ranges from 30 to 50 years.

Architectural shingles and architectural requirements

Some neighbourhoods have specific architectural requirements, which is why a lot of roofs in a neighbourhood may have, for example, cedar roofs. There are architectural shingles that satisfy these architectural requirements, which provide a specific look and cost less than expensive, low supply materials such as cedar shakes, or high cost products such as metal. These specialized architectural shingles also have longer lifespans than regular architectural shingles. Speak to one of our roofing representatives today to find out more or to get a free quote.

Architectural roof shingles FAQ’s

How long does it take for you to replace an entire roof?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer. The length of time needed to replace the roof depends on the size and shape of the roof, the materials used, and whether or not the weather is cooperating. A small, flat roof with no major damage may take only a couple of days, while a larger more complicated roof with extensive damage might take weeks.

How often does a roof need to be entirely replaced?

Your roof’s lifespan depends on a few factors, like the material used and how well the roof has been maintained over the years. As a general guideline, you should do a full roof inspection after about 20 years to determine the condition of your roof and the remainder of its lifespan.

How many different types of roofing materials are there?

When it comes to roofing materials, there are a ton of choices out there. There’s the always popular asphalt fibreglass shingles, or metal roofing, recycled composite, cedar shakes, and more. Whatever you choose, you can rest assured that A. Clark Roofing & Siding LP always uses the best quality products on all our roofing projects.
