ASPHALT SHINGLES

Asphalt shingles are a type of wall or roof shingle that uses asphalt for waterproofing.  Asphalt is a thick, sticky, black liquid or semi-liquid form of petroleum.

They are one of the most widely used roofing covers in North America because they have a relatively inexpensive up-front cost and are fairly simple to install.

EXAMPLE:

My neighbor remodeled his roof using asphalt shingles.  Although there are many styles and colors, he choose a nice mixture of greys.
