Benefits of Choosing Architectural Shingles Over 3-Tab.
Architectural shingles are typically sturdier and heavier, than 3-tab shingles, due to the three-dimensional texture built into them, which allows them to withstand hail impact and storm damage more efficiently.
Architectural roofs, due to the nature of their durability, can withstand wind much better than 3-tab shingles.
