Class 3 shingles are a type of asphalt roof shingles designed to withstand moderate hail damage and wind speeds of up to 60 mph. They are a step up compared to class 1 and class 2 roof tiles, but they are not as durable as class 4 roof tiles. Architectural roof tiles have a thicker and stronger base than standard 3-tab roof tiles. Capable of mimicking the visual appearance of many other types of roofs and, at the same time, offering durability and versatility, this type of roof has gained popularity in recent years.
Before deciding what type of material to use for your next roofing project, you'll want to consider how its performance varies depending on essential categories, such as water and wind resistance, longevity, and appearance. To keep your roof looking good for its entire potential lifespan, you'll need regular maintenance on both types of asphalt shingles.
