Strip Shingles

Dimensional Shingles
They are commonly called “architectural shingles” or “laminate shingles”. They are the most commonly-used in residential properties. They are made from 2 – 3 layers of asphalt fused together making it thicker and heavier, so they are more multi-dimensional in appearance. These can be designed to look like other materials too such as slate or wood.
