This booklet is intended as a general guide for the installation of laminated asphalt roofing shingles. Laminated shingles contain more than one layer of material to create extra thickness. Laminated shingles may also be called "architectural" shingles or "three dimensional" shingles. For more detailed information on the installation of asphalt shingles and other types of asphalt roofing products, refer to the ARMA Residential Asphalt Roofing Manual, which can be ordered on ARMA's website: www.asphaltroofing.org.
