Asphalt shingle is one of the most widely used roofing materials on the planet. It is used in a range of climates and, because of technological developments, has stood the test of time. Asphalt shingles are a clean, modern product that may be utilised on a range of pitches and designs of homes, and can be retrofitted for other types of roofs, such as concrete tiles.

Several bituminous sheets affixed to a wood roof substructure are separated by a layer of bitumen felt or a self-adhering membrane. The shingled shingle pattern provides the greatest watershed, while the ridge-vent system at the roof's peak provides the best ventilation. A base mat, an impermeable asphalt coating, and a layer of ceramic granules on top of asphalt shingles block UV radiation.
Asphalt shingles come in two varieties: silica and plant-based.
Asphalt shingle roofs are popular due to their affordability. The fabric is also fairly durable, and it comes in a variety of styles that may be used in almost any home.
