Shingle roofing is a type of roofing material made up of individual overlapping pieces, or “shingles,” typically made of materials like asphalt, wood, slate, or metal. The shingles are laid in a staggered pattern to create a protective layer over the roof that sheds water and protects the underlying structure from the elements.
Because of its affordability and durability, asphalt shingles are the most common type of shingle roofing material in the United States and in the Pittsburgh area. It is made of a fiberglass or organic mat that is coated with asphalt and granules, which give the shingles their color and texture.
Wood shingles are another popular type of shingle roofing material, made of cedar, redwood, or other types of wood. They provide a natural, rustic look but require more maintenance than other types of shingles.
Slate and metal shingles are more expensive but offer greater durability and longevity. Slate shingles are made of natural stone and can last over a century, while metal shingles are made of materials like aluminum or steel and can last up to 50 years or more.
