50-Year Roofing Shingles

Well, it all depends on the area. Sure, many 50-year shingles can withstand the test of time. You may install these shingles on your home, endure the occasional thunderstorm but otherwise fair weather, and discover that they truly last half a century or longer.

The next thing you need to consider is this: 50-year shingles do not necessarily have a lifespan of 50 years. In fact, they usually fall 5-10 years short of that period. While this is sometimes caused by improper installation, it is more often the result of poor maintenance or negligence.

How long do shingles really last? between 15 and 30 years?
Most asphalt shingles last between 15 and 30 years – based on your area's weather conditions and climate. The type of asphalt shingle also influences its lifespan: Three-tab shingles last from 15 to 20 years and are the cheapest option. Architectural (dimensional) shingles last from 20 to 30 years.

Can shingles last indefinitely?
If shingles is not treated it may go away on its own. However, there is an increased risk of developing a long-term painful condition called postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). PHN can last for weeks or years.

Shingles are an overlooked component of your home. More than just a part of aesthetic appeal, shingles shield your home from precipitation, winds, extreme temperatures, and other dangers. Not only that, but shingles can be a huge investment. These days, there are choices between materials, like asphalt and ceramic, as well as composition versus architectural shingles, and more.

When you start comparing shingles side by side, you might notice that some architectural shingles can last twice as cheaper shingles, some up to 50 years! But do you really need shingles that last that long? Are 50-year shingles worth the money?
