'''Asphalt shingles''' are a widely used steep-slope roofing material, especially on residential buildings in North America. They combine relatively low cost with ease of installation and a broad range of colors. == Types == * '''Three-tab shingles''' — a flat, uniform look with cut tabs * '''Architectural (dimensional/laminated) shingles''' — a thicker, layered profile that mimics the depth of wood or slate == Construction == Most modern asphalt shingles are built on a fiberglass mat coated with asphalt and topped with mineral granules. The granules protect against ultraviolet light and add color and surface texture. == Lifespan == Depending on product quality and climate, asphalt shingles typically last from about 20 to 30 years. == See also == * [[Roofing Materials]] * [[Roof Replacement]] * [[Metal Roofing]]
