Three-tab, architectural and impact-resistant shingles compared.
Three-tab shingles are flat, single-layer and now rarely installed on new roofs.
Architectural (laminated) shingles are thicker and dimensional, with better wind ratings and longer warranties.
Class 4 impact-resistant shingles use a rubberized asphalt or reinforced mat to resist hail cracking.
