Composite & Architectural Roofing

Not All Roofing is Created Equal–Davinci Roofscapes are First-Class

Not all asphalt-based shingles are the same. Some types of shingle are made to provide elegance and unique durability, thanks to their heavier, contoured construction. Today’s shingles can simulate natural materials, as well.

What Are Architectural Shingles?

Trust Northwind Exteriors for unsurpassed quality in shingle roofing, We guarantee outstanding quality and workmanship, using the highest grade materials from leading manufacturers. Our high-quality “architectural” and composite shingle roofing can be the upgrade you’re looking for to set your property apart from the rest! Architectural shingles include those which are formed to resemble various textures including wood and stone. These special shingles are thicker, which adds to their longevity and resilience under the harsh weather conditions common to Illinois and Wisconsin.

Are architectural shingles more energy-efficient than standard asphalt shingles?

Architectural shingles and standard asphalt shingles can both be energy efficient, depending on various factors such as the quality and thickness of the shingles, the type of roof they are installed on, and the overall energy efficiency of the building. Architectural shingles are a type of asphalt shingle that’s designed to provide a more attractive and durable roofing solution. Architectural shingles are made with multiple layers of asphalt and have a more textured and dimensional appearance than standard asphalt shingles. Another advantage of Northwind Exteriors’ architectural shingles is that they may be more resistant to wind and weather damage, which can help reduce the long-term energy costs associated with maintaining and repairing a roof. In addition, architectural shingles may be more effective at reflecting sunlight.
