What is the difference between the different types of shingles?
3-tab shingles are asphalt/fiberglass shingles on which the tabs are all the same size and exposure. This style shingle is flat in appearance and is the most common on homes. Laminated shingles are strip shingles containing more than one layer of tabs to create extra thickness. These shingles are also called three-dimensional shingles or architectural shingles. These shingles also combine a rough dimensional look with attractive natural color blends.
