Roofing Materials to Consider for Your House

 

Historically, asphalt shingles, slate, clay, and concrete tiles were almost the only roofing materials available. Modern roofing materials provide an unparalleled variety of options, as well as new aesthetics for traditional materials.

There are a variety of roofing materials to pick from, and a little research may lead you to explore a different material rather than just replacing the one you already have. Choosing the proper roofing material needs consideration of aesthetics, durability, cost, and structural concerns.

Things To Consider For Choosing the roofing materials

Architectural and Three-Tab

Architectural asphalt shingles are thicker than three-tab shingles and produce a layered, lasting appearance on the roof. Architectural shingles are more costly due to their superior material and installation time.

However, they may survive between 15 and 30 years and are more resistant to the elements. Asphalt shingles with three tabs are thinner and carved to resemble three shingles.

This expedites the installation process and produces a consistent, brick-like pattern. They are susceptible to severe winds and typically last between 7 and 15 years. This is often the least expensive roofing choice.
