There are several types of roofing shingles you can choose from, each one with specific advantages. In terms of durability, metal shingles work the best, but the other types can be suitable due to other benefits they provide.
Wood shingles
If you like traditional constructions, you could cover your house with wooden shingles. These have great thermal insulating properties and can withstand all weather conditions. Such a roof is very flexible, like all things made from natural materials, and has no problems with heat expansion or shrinkage at low temperatures. The simple treatment of wood shingles with special protection solution makes them more resistant to water and even to fire.
Asphalt shingles
