Is a roof replacement in store for your home for 2022? If so or if you’re building a new home, you may be curious about current trends in the most popular type of roofing shingle in order to make sure your home’s exterior looks as up-to-date as possible. In this blog post, we are going to review some of the new asphalt shingle systems and roofing trends for 2022.

2022 Asphalt Shingle Roofing Trends
Often, trends in roofing are about the functionality, performance, and technology behind the shingles and roofing systems. However, for 2022, there are more aesthetic trends we’re seeing.
- Bold Colors – Coordinating your roof’s shingles with your home is essential, and more people are turning to richer colors to harmonize well with the colors of their home and neighborhood.
- Durability – Asphalt shingles have always been one of the most durable roofing materials for homes. They are reasonably priced for the great value they bring. New technologies consistently deliver different asphalt shingle ratings for more environments.
- Appearance – Today’s asphalt shingles have modern appearances that provide a contemporary and stylish look. There are a variety of styles for every home style and neighborhood look.
Types of Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles are always a good value and continue to be a great choice for many homeowners. Roofing technology is always advancing with the times, and the types of asphalt shingles available supply effective protection against weather, fire, wind, and many pests.
Ratings for shingles vary depending on your location and your home’s needs. Asphalt shingles have different classes depending on the codes necessary for your area, but also for the level of protection desired for your residence. For example, asphalt shingles can carry ratings for higher winds, hail, and climates.
The Future of Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingle styles are shifting to a more contemporary feel to stay on-trend. Premium shingles and dimensional shingles mimic the look of slate, shake, or tiles for good-looking roofing characteristics.
Roofing systems improve over time as well. The newest trends for roofing will provide you with the most up-to-date underlayment, ventilation materials, adhesive methods, and drainage.
Asphalt roofing shingles continue to be one of the most popular roofing systems for a reason. And the best news is that the asphalt shingle never goes out of style; it just gets better and better.
