Wood shakes are usually made of cedar, oak, or redwood. This roofing material is also popular due to its unmatched elegance, increased energy efficiency, and superior durability.


Fremont, CA: Roofing structures have changed in design, installation methods, and even materials as time and technology have progressed. Every roof is built with occupant safety in mind while also considering aesthetic appeal, durability, and longevity.


Metal, concrete, clay tile, slate, and shakes or wood shingles are among the various roofing materials. The best roofing material for your next project is determined by several factors, including your budget, desired quality, and the overall look of the roofing you want for your home. It is important to speak with a professional about the various types of roofing materials to understand your choices.


Here are six roofing materials used:


Tar And Gravel


A built-up roofing system is made up of tar and gravel and is typically used in commercial buildings. It's a great alternative to shingle roofs, and the longevity is primarily determined by the raw materials used.


Built-up roofing is becoming more common for commercial buildings due to its ease of maintenance, heating and cooling efficiency, and fire resistance.


Asphalt


Asphalt shingles are a popular roofing material in the United States, made of fiberglass, asphalt, ceramic, and mineral granules. This form of roofing typically has a warranty of 20 to 30 years. Asphalt is also an easy-to-install material when restoring deteriorated individual shingles, making it more convenient. This roofing is durable, waterproof, deflects UV light, low-cost, and attractive.

Slate


Slate roofing tiles are a high-quality, long-lasting roofing product made of natural stone. Some homeowners also prefer slate roofing tiles because of their exceptional and natural beauty. Slate roofing comes in various colors, including black, red, grey, green, purple, and mottled tiles, which can be combined to create a variety of colors. It's also long-lasting, fire-resistant, and eco-friendly.


Metal


Copper, alloy strips, aluminum, and steel are all options for metal roofing. The form and texture of this roofing material are unique. Metal roofs keep your house cooler, are long-lasting and sturdy, and are attractive and customizable.


Wood Shakes


Wood shakes are usually made of cedar, oak, or redwood. This roofing material is also popular due to its unmatched elegance, increased energy efficiency, and superior durability.


Tile


Clay, slate, and concrete tiles can endure high winds, hail, and fire. Unlike wood, tile is resistant to insect damage and rot, and most tile roof manufacturers offer a 50-year warranty. It's also energy-efficient, low-maintenance, and comes with a variety of options.
