What are asphalt shingles?
Asphalt shingles are sometimes known as composite shingles. It is a composite product made from a fiberglass or cellulose mat, asphalt and mineral granules. It is also fully recyclable. There are three types of asphalt shingles:
- Strip asphalt roofing shingles with a very flat appearance that looks like slate.
- Dimensional asphalt roofing shingles have a richer and thicker multi-dimensional appearance.
- Luxury asphalt roofing shingles look like old-world shake and quarried slate roofing.
Asphalt shingles are naturally fire-resistant. Specialty shingles that fight algae growth, have cool roof color technologies, or enhanced resistance to damaging hail can be manufactured. They are available across all shingle types.

proven track record in North America. Bob Harvey Roofing is an accredited CertainTeed Select Shingle Master.
