Weight

There are many reasons why most Americans choose asphalt roofing shingles, fiberglass-based asphalt shingles particularly, when choosing their residential roofing material. Asphalt shingles are economical, inexpensive and simple to install by a professional roofing contractor. Fiberglass roof shingles usually weigh in the range of 1.8 to 2.3 pounds per square foot. Although not as heavy as the asbestos roofing shingles of the past, they are in wide use in the United States, even in hurricane prone regions.

Durability

Although highly durable, asphalt shingles depend on environmental and regional weather conditions. They are a popular choice for both cooler and warmer climates; however, roof shingles with a lifespan of 20 years in northern US states, last an average of 14 years in the Arizona desert.
