Roofing Material Considerations
The material that you choose for your roof will determine how long you can expect your roof to live, how much maintenance work you will need to put in, how much the roof will cost you and there are aesthetic aspects involved as well, so the decision is probably the most important one in the entire reroofing process. If you feel overwhelmed by the choice of materials, here are some tips to make the decision easier for you:
- Consider the climate – your climate zone is one of the essential factors that you should take into consideration. If you live in a very cold or a very hot region, the best materials are the ones that have superior insulation properties of their own and can resist wide temperature variations, such as clay or concrete tiles, while buildings in moderate climate zones can use shingles or metal;
- Consider the roof type – flat roofs are usually made from metal, foam, or rubber membrane while sloping roofs can use asphalt shingles, clay tiles, metal, wood, and slate;
- Shape, size, and color – try to choose materials that match the overall style of your building in terms of shape, color, and size. Use color palettes and research roofing color schemes to find the perfect fit.
