Choosing the right roofing material is a critical decision when it comes to protecting your home from the elements and enhancing its curb appeal. Two of the most popular choices among homeowners today are fiberglass and asphalt shingles. Understanding the differences between the two can help you make an informed decision that best suits your needs.
While both fiberglass and asphalt shingles are popular roofing materials, they have distinct differences that set them apart.
Organic Asphalt Shingles are traditionally made from a paper material soaked in asphalt, coated by layers of additional asphalt and ceramic granules. Despite the term 'organic', these shingles are not made of sustainable or naturally sourced materials. Instead, the term refers to the non-synthetic materials used in their construction.
Fiberglass Shingles, on the other hand, are a newer variant of asphalt shingles. They feature a base mat made of fiberglass, making them lighter than organic asphalt shingles. Despite their reduced weight, fiberglass shingles offer enhanced heat and moisture resistance due to their glass fiber layer.
Before you decide on fiberglass shingles, it's important to weigh their advantages and potential drawbacks.
