Roof
comes in all shapes and sizes, and they can be made up of different
materials. Each has its set f properties and advantages. Let’s discuss
some of the most common roofing material you can choose from.
Composite Roofing
Composite
roofing is what we know as asphalt shingles and is perhaps the most
common type roofing used on modern homes. If you are strapped on budget,
this tile is perhaps your best option in terms of low cost and quick
installation.
This
roofing is made from fiberglass or cellulose mats that are coated with
granules and asphalt. Its profile is flat and rather lightweight. As a
rule of thumb, the heavier the shingle you choose the more durable they
will be.
Wooden Roofing
Wooden
shingles are made of southern pine, redwood, and cedar. You might want
to check out your county's local construction code as some prohibit use
of wood, as it is flammable. You will have to double your budget if you
go with wooden roofing.
If
you live in a suburban neighborhood, wood would blend seamlessly with
the surrounding ambiance of your home. The average life you can expect
from this type of roofing is between 15 – 25 years and requires your
roof measurements to be at least 4:12 slope.
Concrete Tile Roofing
Concrete
tiles are modern in appearance and virtually indestructible in terms of
durability. This type of roofing gives you an added peace of mind as
you install and forget about its replacement guarantee. This type of
roofing isn't the most expensive, neither is it the cheapest.
This
type of roofing is molded so they interlock firmly, not to mention this
makes it easier to install if you are considering doing the roofing
yourself. You can decide between different weight types depending on
your roof.
Rubber Composite Roofing
Rubber
composite roofing, also known as synthetic slates are shingles made
from rubber and blend of plastic. Bonded on a molecular level, the
characteristics of this tile make it extremely lightweight, extremely
strong and flexible.
These
types of roofing come with a minimum warranty of 50 years. This is
perhaps the most expensive roofing available and is not height in
demand. But if it is durability you are looking for, this roofing is the
go-to type.
