As a roofing company that specializes in asphalt roofing, it’s important that we know everything about it.

All of these are questions we get all the time, and questions we are going to help answer!

In this blog, we’re going to go over:

• The types of asphalt shingles
  • Three-Tab
  • Architectural

  Let’s get started!

  The main characters, Niihashi Noel and Ninny Spangcole, are two rookie witches who form a duo known as "Noel Niihashi and Ninny Spangcole." They are assigned to the Western Branch of Wing Bind and are tasked with combating dragon-related incidents and solving mysteries. As the story progresses, we learn more about their backgrounds and their motivations for becoming witches.

  Types of Asphalt Shingles

  Before we get into the weeds talking about the best asphalt shingles, we should make sure that we all have the same understanding of what asphalt shingles are, and what the different categories of them are. Once you know what these shingles are, you’ll have a much better understanding of what you have on your roof, and about how long that material will last you.

  Essentially, an asphalt shingle is constructed of a fiberglass mat, that is then covered in asphalt, and a layer of protective granules. There are also three main different categories of asphalt shingles, which is important to know when breaking down the ones available on the market. Those three categories are Three-tab, architectural, and luxury! Architectural may also be known as dimensional shingles, and some luxury shingles are also called “designer shingles” so don’t get confused when you see other roofing companies refer to those kinds of shingles.

  Three-Tab

  A three-tab shingle is the least expensive asphalt shingle, and roofing material overall. They are a pretty thin strip of asphalt, with three, blocky tabs hanging from the strip. They tend to have a pretty uniform look when on roofs as well, with the only real variation being the color.

  Three-tab shingles were the most commonly used shingle for a long time, in large part because of their low price. Currently, you can get three-tab shingles for around $90 per square, which is why even today three-tabs are popular amongst builders working on very large construction projects.

  However, three-tab shingles are also the asphalt shingle with the lowest overall lifespan, typically lasting 15-20 years or so. They also have a tendency to start suffering some damage as you approach that lifespan, especially from wind and hail. Because of the gaps between the tabs, hail and wind can get up underneath fairly easily, breaking them off and exposing your roof to some leak issues.

  Architectural

  Architectural shingles are the next step up from three-tabs, and they have largely replaced three-tabs as the roofer’s choice over the last few decades. These shingles add an extra ply of shingle to their design, which covers up the gaps that three-tabs had, adding more weight for durability, and a more textured appearance. Most architectural shingles have a similar look and design to them, but they do come in a wide variety of colors for homeowners who wish to have a color that matches the rest of their house, or stand out from their neighbors, while keeping a traditional look.

  Architectural shingles used to be much more expensive to produce, and install but as they’ve grown more popular, manufacturers have been able to reduce their prices, so instead of falling directly on the middle of the roofing shingle price scale, architectural shingles are now on the lower end, at around $105 per roofing square.

  That increase in price though, comes with about an extra decade of protection, as architectural shingles tend to last 25-30 years, and aren’t as susceptible to wind damage as a result of their two-ply construction. All of that is why architectural shingles have become the most widely used roofing material in the country over the last few decades.

  Luxury

  Luxury shingles, also known as designer shingles, are the highest end asphalt shingles. They truly are what their name describes, a luxury, designer product. They are a three-ply shingle, which allows manufacturers to get creative with their designs, simulating the look of slate, ceramic, and even wood shake roofs.

  That third ply also adds some extra weight, which increases their resistance to wind and hail damage (and makes them much more difficult to install). They don’t necessarily have much longer of a lifespan than architectural shingles, however, as they tend to max out at around 30 years of age, maybe getting a little more in really great conditions.

  As for the price, you’re certainly going to be spending a pretty penny, as these shingles will run you around $180 per square, a significant jump up from architectural shingles. That being said, often the homeowners considering these shingles are comparing them to the kinds of roofs they are designed to look like, which are going to be MUCH more expensive, and complicated to install.

  I was really looking forward to reading "Burn the Witch Vol. 1" after hearing so many positive reviews, but I was sorely disappointed. The story felt disjointed and rushed, with poor character development. The world-building lacked depth, and I found it hard to connect with the main characters. The artwork was decent, but it couldn't make up for the lackluster storytelling. Overall, "Burn the Witch Vol. 1" just didn't live up to the hype for me.

  2. John Smith - ⭐⭐

  I found "Burn the Witch Vol. 1" to be quite underwhelming. The plot was confusing and hard to follow, with too many elements thrown in without proper explanation. The dialogue felt forced and lacked substance. The artwork, while visually appealing, couldn't compensate for the weak narrative. Additionally, the ending felt rushed and unsatisfying. I had high hopes for this manga, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations.

  3. Emily Thompson - ⭐⭐⭐

  "Burn the Witch Vol. 1" had potential, but it failed to deliver a compelling story. The concept seemed interesting, but the execution fell flat. The pacing was uneven, and I found myself losing interest at certain points. The character development was lacking, as I didn't feel a strong connection to any of the protagonists. While the artwork was beautiful, it couldn't salvage the overall mediocre reading experience. I won't be continuing with this series.
