What Are Luxury Asphalt Shingles?

Luxury asphalt shingles, also called designer shingles, are a premium step above standard architectural shingles. They are engineered to replicate the look of premium materials like slate or cedar shakes but with the added benefits of asphalt technology. Atlas luxury shingles take this a step further with key features:

• High-Quality Materials and Construction: Luxury shingles are thicker and more durable than standard shingles. They feature multiple layers and intricate designs for a truly distinctive look. They’re crafted with advanced materials for enhanced weather resistance and longevity.
• Long-Lasting Durability: Luxury shingles are designed to withstand the harsh Arkansas climate, including intense sun, heavy rain, strong winds, and even hail. With proper installation and care they sit at the top end of what asphalt can deliver, though Arkansas heat, hail and humidity mean you should plan on the 15 to 20 year range like any asphalt shingle here.
• Energy Efficiency Benefits: Many luxury shingles incorporate special granules that reflect sunlight, reducing heat absorption and helping to lower your energy bills. This translates to year-round comfort and savings for your home.
• Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal: Luxury shingles come in various styles, colors, and textures, allowing you to achieve the perfect look for your home. Whether you prefer the classic elegance of slate or the rustic charm of wood shakes, Atlas has a shingle to match your vision.
