Recently, enhancements to dimensional shingles have resulted in a new generation of high-quality asphalt roofing products with distinctive and often dramatic appearances. With these advancements came a new name:   architectural roofing shingles. Also known as laminated or dimensional shingles, architectural asphalt roofing shingles are among the highest-quality roofing products made.

Connecticut Roofcrafters has been able to create some stunning three-dimensional appearances using architectural asphalt shingles from manufacturers like CertainTeed and GAF.

Some of the most attractive architectural roofing shingles simulate cedar wood shakes; they are thick with random slots similar to real shakes. Another architectural shingle design imitates the look of slate without the weight issues that normally accompany those materials and therefore do not require any additional roof support as slate would.

The random colors and textures accent steep roof planes, turrets, and gable features of roofs; some product lines offer hip and ridge pieces which highlight a roof’s many sections and complement the shingle.
