Asphalt shingles are known for their durability. They are durable enough that they do not require extensive regular maintenance like other roofing materials will often need. Most types are resistant to extreme temperatures, winds, fire, and ice.

What's the difference between asphalt shingles and regular shingles?

Architectural shingles

They can withstand wind speeds of 110-130 mph, whereas regular asphalt shingles are rated for wind speeds of 60mph. They last 50 years or more in optimal climate conditions, provided that they're installed and maintained properly. They tend to come with lifetime warranties.
