Different Roofing Materials & Their Benefits
Different Roofing Materials & Their Benefits
Asphalt Shingles
In Canada, you will find Asphalt Shingles installed in almost every house and that is because it is the most affordable roofing material in the market, and if they are installed properly, they can last around 25-30 years. Shingles are both easy to repair and replace if needed, and they can be recycled which is great for the environment as there are millions of tonnes of shingles created for homes.
Slate Roofing
Slate Roofing is the most durable roofing that is available in the market and will provide the longest-lasting roof out of all the other options. Due to their durability, this is a popular option for custom homes as you will not need to worry about maintenance. The durability comes with an additional increase in weight which you need to be aware of because if you’re planning to install Slate on your home, you will need to double-check if your framing can account for the weight of that.
Metal Roofing
Metal Roofing is another popular option because, unlike Asphalt Shingles, Metal Roofing is unaffected by mold, moss, and fungal growth. They are also resistant to squirrels, termites, or any other pests that can cause damage to your roofing. In addition, this roofing is far more energy efficient than asphalt shingles, and also lasts a lot longer. In terms of costs, Metal Roofings cost more upfront in comparison to Asphalt Roofing, but since Metal Roofings last more than twice as long as Shingles, Metal Roofings are cheaper and more durable in the longer run.
