Surely we
need to pick up the best roofing for our houses. The best is not defined as the
most sophisticated product with costly price, which no one else could not
probably afford. The best roofing is determined by its durability and
suitability with your house’s construction, alongside other supporting aspects
such as weather. And to find this one requires thorough analysis.
However, to
enlighten you, here are several of roof
types you can refer to.

Asphalt
Shingles
This one is
considered to be the most used roofing, made of organic paper fiber mat or
fiberglass. Each primary material is suitable for different cases. The fiber
mat is good at cold weather and wind, while the fiberglass is more suitable for
resisting fire and moisture. Unfortunately, this roof type is not eco-friendly
for it is made of petroleum-based product, while it can actually be recycled.
Its
moderate weight might be the most loved characteristic, though it is, in fact,
not very durable. Besides, its price is pretty affordable, from inexpensive to
moderate. You might want to set this roof on low to steep sloped roof.
Plastic
Polymer
If you put
durability and maintenance cost as the most prioritized aspect to consider in roof types, this plastic polymer which
is certainly made of high-tech plastic polymer could be the best choice. It is
considered to be one of the most durable roofing with low maintenance. Even if
you purchase it in such a moderate price.
Another
upside of this roof is its light weight without eliminating its wind
resistance. The use is considerably flexible, from moderate roofs to steep
sloped roofs. Also, some of the types are able to be recycled.
Clay Tile
The classic
look it delivers is actually priceless, though it actually cost quite
expensive, compared to other lighter roof
types. Clay tile is heavy, you should have known that. But it is excellent
in resisting fire and good enough to protect the house from low to fair wind.
Also, clay tile is among those roofing which are made from natural materials,
which are good for this earth.
However, you
might need more help to assemble the roof, for it requires great force to have
it done. Moreover, we cannot deny that clay tile is more fragile than the
others. Though it requires low maintenance, but one you got giant tree knock on
your house’s roof, you might need to spend a lot.
