The shingles bare a T-shaped design that allows them to interlock with each other.Click to see full answer. Also question is, how long do T Lock shingles last?With the recent high winds and hail storms in our area, almost every roof with T-locks will qualify for a new roof with an upgrade to an architectural style shingle. Standard Architectural shingles such as Owens Corning Oakridge carry a 30 year warranty and can be easily upgraded to a 110mph wind warranty.Secondly, why are T Lock shingles bad? Poor Quality. The early T-lock shingles were heavier and sturdier because of their asphalt content. Later versions of the shingle were thinner, lighter, more brittle and less resistant to high winds. In this way, why are T Lock shingles discontinued? One of the reasons they were eventually discontinued is because of architectural, also known as laminate, shingles were introduced and became very popular in the 1980’s and 1990’s for their superior resistance to hail and high winds.What are the different types of roof shingles?There are three main types of asphalt shingles: 3-tab asphalt, fiberglass asphalt, and architectural style asphalt shingles. 3 tab asphalt shingles are the most affordable shingle to install but they are thinner, have an organic-mat paper base, and wear out more quickly than fiberglass or architectural shingles.
