Picking the Right Roof
Aside from keeping you and your household belongings safe and dry, it can add character to your abode. If your roof needs replacement or repair, carefully choose the material to get a satisfying and secure feeling come hail, rain, or snow.
So, what is the best material for a roof? Roofing materials come in varying types including fibreglass, asphalt, metal, tile, slate, etc. Fibreglass and asphalt composition roofing are two of the most common. Fibreglass shingles are thicker, allowing them to add more texture to the roof. Plus, fibreglass lasts longer (up to 30 years or about 10 years longer than asphalt). These roofing materials come in different colours and patterns. You can buy them for as low as 1.5 British pounds per square foot.
On the other hand, metal roofing is lighter than composition roofing. It is fire resistant, and comes in various colours and types. Depending on your taste, you can have a metal roof made of copper, steel, or aluminium. Each of these can be fabricated to make them look like shingles. Metal roofing can last longer than any other type of roof. With proper care, it will even last as long as your home. You can buy metal roofing for around 6 pounds per square foot.
Tile roofing, though heavy, is durable, fire resistant, and attractive. A structure must be carefully engineered to make sure it can hold the tile roofing. Tile, however, is more vulnerable to external elements like wind and snow. You can buy it at 2 pounds per square foot.
Slate roofing is beautiful and durable, but costly and heavy. You can buy it at 9 pounds per square foot. However, you buy slate-looking fibreglass or rubber roofing at half the price.
