Yes, composite shingles are available in three varieties: 3-Tab Shingles: The most popular and least expensive type of composite shingles. Laminate Shingles: Sometimes referred to as Dimensional Shingles, laminate shingles are similar to 3-tab shingles but thicker. Architectural Shingles: The best shingles in the business. Unlike 3-tab shingles and laminates, they are strong, heavy, and much larger. Many of them have fire-retardant properties.
