Types of Roof Materials and What Professionals Recommend the Best

Article Category: Home Management

Author Name: Keith Miller

Because there are many different types of roofing materials available and recommended by each roofing company, Gainesville GA homeowners often find it tricky to choose the right roofing material for their houses. One of the main considerations is the aesthetic value of the material. However, not all great-looking roofs have to be made of the most expensive materials. With today's roofing technology, aesthetics is now combined with cost-effectiveness.

To help you decide which roof material will suit your house and aesthetic tastes, the following will describe the different types of roofing materials and their distinct characteristics:

Slate – one of the oldest and most widely preferred roofing materials. It is obtained naturally and designed mechanically to create stylish roof designs. It is very durable (it can last up to a century or more), energy efficient, and comes in different shades or hues. However, slate is also heavy on both price and physical weight. Slate is most ideal for large, sturdy structures that can resist the stress from its weight.
Clay tiles – Also known as Spanish tiles, clay tiles are also long-lasting and energy-efficient like slate. It is widely preferred for its attractive look and comes in different stylish designs and shades. However, like slate, clay tiles are heavy and can be quite expensive. An extra roof framing might be needed so you can have clay tiles installed as roofing.
Concrete tiles – Concrete tiles are as durable as clay tiles and also energy efficient. It is also as heavy as clay tiles but cost less than clay and slate.
Wood shingles – wood shingles are usually made from redwood, pine, cypress, or cedar. Wood shingles make attractive roofing and are also durable. However, wood decays overtime and catches fire more easily than other materials even if you treat it with fire retardants.
Wood shakes – Same as wood shingles, except that it is shaped thicker at one end than the shingles.
Asphalt shingles – the most popular roofing material in the U.S. because it's affordable and easy to install. Asphalt shingles are also quite durable. Some manufacturers mix fiberglass into the shingles to improve durability and life.
Metal – metal roofing is becoming more popular because of its benefits including weather resistance, durability, and long-life. A properly installed metal roofing can last up to 50 years or more. It also comes in different stylish designs and colors to meet the different aesthetic preferences of homeowners. Metal roofing can be aluminum, steel, zinc, or copper. Copper is popular for its attractive shade and reflective effect. As for pricing, metal roofs are less costly than the heavier tile roofing.
Synthetic materials – synthetic roofing materials are also available for much lower prices. These products are made from recycled materials like plastics and rubber, and are designed to look like clay tiles, slate, or wood shingles. Synthetic roofing are also quite durable, depending on the base material.

In terms of durability, long life, aesthetic value and price, asphalt and metal roofing are the most practical. Division Kangaroof, a premier roofing contractor (Gainesville GA-based), highly recommends metal as the most reliable roofing material because of its many advantages. Though asphalt is easy to install, repairs may not be as easy.
