Title: SELECTING THE RIGHT ROOF FOR YOUR HOME

SELECTING THE RIGHT ROOF FOR YOUR HOME
2
  • Choosing the right roof for your home is
    essential for many reasons, as not only can it go
    on to become the defining feature of the
    property, but it needs to keep you dry, insulated
    and protected from the elements, too.
  • Of course, if youre building a new home from
    scratch, then the type of roof that you choose
    and the material that it will be made from, will
    depend a lot upon the building it will sit on top
    of. If youre using an architect to help design
    your new home, they will work with you and
    engineers to determine the roof material type and
    style. The weight will need to be carefully
    considered before the structural calculations can
    be finalised.

  • Lets look in a little more detail at some of the
    things you might need to consider before
    selecting the right roof for your home
  • Cost
  • Cost can vary hugely depending on many factors,
    such as the size of the roof and the materials
    its constructed from. If youre re-roofing or
    remodelling your existing roof and the weight of
    the new roof is more than the existing one, then
    there may be significant costs involved your
    budget may well determine the type of roof you
    end up choosing.

  • Style
  • The style of your roof is something that you
    should talk at length to your architect about,
    and keep in mind that some materials are good
    historical matches for certain styles of home.
  • Roofing materials
  • With so many different roof materials available
    today, knowing which one would best suit your
    home can be tricky, but here are some of the most
    common materials along with a brief description
    of their attributes

5
  • Asphalt or composition roofs
  • This is without doubt the most popular roofing
    material in the U.S. due in part to its cost and
    ease of installation. These roofs also come in
    many different colors and styles.
  • Clay roof tiles
  • This ancient roof material is delicate and costly
    but is a popular choice for certain homeowners
    wanting to give their home a more romantic and
    authentic look.

6
  • Wood shingles and shakes
  • With its significantly poorer fire rating, while
    being easy to work with this material is no
    longer as popular as it once was.
  • Concrete roof tiles
  • These are a durable and cheaper alternative to
    costly clay or slate tiles.
  • Metal roofs
  • These roofs have a much higher performance rating
    than most other materials and can be adapted to
    suit both modern and historical styles of
    buildings.

7
  • With various manufacturers making metal roofs in
    a wide variety of colors, they are a popular
    choice among homeowners nowadays.
  • Slate roofs
  • Although more expensive, slate tiles are durable
    and can give a home a natural but modern look.
  • Selecting the right roof for your home can be
    made a lot simpler if you talk to your local,
    professional roofing company they will go
    through your options with you and help you make a
    choice that is both cost effective, durable and
    stylish.
