The use of asbestos in the manufacture of asphalt shingles was phased out by the 1960s. If you&#8217;ve been considering asphalt shingles for your new roof installation, you can rest assured that this material is made without asbestos, allowing for a roof system that&#8217;s both tough and safe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. &#8220;Every asphalt shingle has the same quality.&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;The &#8220;just okay&#8221; weather performance associated with asphalt shingles may refer only to their most basic option: three-tab shingles, which are made with a thinner asphalt layer. But not all asphalt shingles are three-tab ones. Some are thicker, stronger and longer lasting, like the GAF architectural asphalt shingles offered by the leading&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.americanroofingnc.com\/\">roofing company<\/a>, American Roofing &amp; Construction, LLC. These come with Advanced Protection\u00ae Technology, allowing them to withstand almost all weather conditions. Some are even designed specifically for improved impact and wind resistance, or for greater solar reflectance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. &#8220;Asphalt shingles look cheap.&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;Asphalt shingles are more reasonably priced than their premium counterparts, sure, but they&#8217;re far from cheap-looking. They can, in fact, provide that sought-after designer look. The GAF Timberline\u00ae and Designer shingles we offer, for instance, are available in a wide selection of colors and textures. Some can even emulate the timeless beauty of genuine wood shakes, tile and slate, allowing for many design possibilities. What&#8217;s more, our ultra high-definition GAF shingles create deep shadow lines when installed, adding depth and drama to the look of your home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Schedule a Roof Evaluation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Planning an asphalt shingle roof installation this season?
