Looking to build a new roof or replace your old
roof for your home? Then, you may want to
consider the various material options
available for residential roofs. You may
use roof shingles, which are a type of roof

and have provided to be a more effective solution

conditions due to the way they are installed.
But, which roof shingle material should you use?

and weaknesses of each material type, and
then decide upon which one would be the best for
you, depending upon the type of house you live
in, the location, and the climatic conditions
throughout the year.
Asphalt
These are the oldest types of roofing materials
used, which provide excellent insulation

comparatively inexpensive, when weighed against
other roofing materials.

and damage, and can last for around 80
years! Because it is extremely strong, resistant,
and durable, there are not many maintenance costs
and efforts, thus making this expensive material

rainfall, or areas that are prone to fire. Other

30-50 years, and is also aesthetically better
than asphalt. However, it is a little expensive.

use for your home. However, there is a reason to
this. Tiles are comparatively much better than
other materials. They are fire-resistant,
and protective against rain, snow, and wind. They
also have better aesthetic appeal, and are
durable enough to last for more than 50 years!
Metal

shedding rain and snow. They can last anywhere
between 50-80 years. Also, they are available in
