Our Guide To the Best Types of Roofs
Shapes of Roofs ![]() ![]() The most common covering for roofs today is the standard shingle. These come in a variety of different colors and styles to match the designed and look of any house. They are typically square or rectangular in shape and are laid in a method that causes them or overlap. This overlapping helps them to transfer precipitation that falls on the rood quickly to the ground and protects the roof from leaking. Shingles are made from a variety of different things. Common materials include ceramic, slate, wood and asphalt. The most common shingle on the market today is asphalt. This is because they are more fire resistant than some types of shingle and more cost effective than others. ![]() Tin roofs have been around for a number of years and continue to be an important part of home building. Despite the fact that other forms of roofing offer advantages over tin, there are two things that keep it a viable roofing material. The first reason is that tin is affordable and the second is that tin is quite durable. Tin roofs require more insulation than shingle roofs, to help protect from cold and heat loss, as well as sound. For some people, however the sound of a tin rood in the rain is one of its virtues. One of the things that makes tin so durable as a roofing material is that it will be damaged by sale or water that it comes in contact with.
