Shingles?

14 years ago

One of the local companies have an ad on TV, saying they will install "Dimensional shingles", for a fee.

What are "dimensional shingles"? Is the wording just something to impress the gullible public, or are they real? Or, just another name for regular shingles? RJ

We call them "architectural shingles" by me. There is a bit more to them than regular 3 tab's to give them more of a 3d (3 dimensional:) look. If you saw them side to side, you would see the differences for sure.
