Choosing the right material when roofing.
Before starting your roofing project, answer a few questions for yourself first:
Concrete and Clay Roof Tiles
Clay Roof Tiles
Concrete Roof Tiles
PROS of Concrete Roof Tiles
They are fire and insect-resistant.
They can increase the street appeal of your house.
They are produced in a wide range of colours, styles & textures.
A light-coloured tile reflects the sunlight, so it reduces the heat penetration & cooling requirements for a room.
Concrete tiles are recyclable
CONS of Concrete Roof Tiles
Some types even require extra framing support, driving up the project costs.
Concrete tiles are more expensive than asphalt, metal and wood options.
They may break if walked or stepped on, so repairing chimneys and other roofing issues becomes trickier.
2. Metal
PROS of Metal Roofing:
It has a long warranty period and can last over 50 years.
It reflects radiant solar heat, so metal roofing can keep your home cooler & control energy costs in hot weather, when compared with asphalt options.
They can be installed quickly and at low cost.
Metal sheds rain better than most other roof materials.
Most metal roofs are made from recycled materials, and the roofing panels are 100% recyclable at the end of their service life.
Modern metal roofing options are lightweight, yet offer high resistance to impact.
These roofs can look great on wood-sided homes, cabins, cottages and those with a simple, rustic design
CONS of Metal Roofing:
Replacing a dented sheet of metal is a larger job than simply replacing a roof tile or shingle
