Asphalt shingles are popular for several reasons. They are fireproof, waterproof, and can withstand snow and hail storms up to a certain magnitude. If a homeowner wants additional protection, they can get class 4 impact rating shingles that can endure severe weather conditions, but these are usually the priciest solution. Additionally, buying Energy Star-eligible asphalt shingles may be enough to qualify for tax credits.
Initially, tile shingles were made of clay and other materials available locally. Over the years, building them has become much more efficient, but the tiles have largely remained the same. The most well-known models are pale pink and orange terracotta clay tiles, commonly featured in Spanish architecture. Tile shingles now emulate many other materials, come in a wide array of colors, and create stunning patterns.
Wood shingles are roofing solutions machine-cut from pine, spruce, or cedar to provide a natural, environmentally friendly option. They are one of the most desired and oldest materials on the market. Anyone who installs wood shingles lends a classic, old-world charm to their house. If installed correctly, they can remain on the roof for up to 50 years, as they are quite durable.
Metal roofing is most famous for its durability and strength. This option can endure just about anything Mother Nature has in store, from snow and heavy rain to wind gusts, hail, and ice. Even though different brands feature varying strength levels, most metal roofing solutions won’t corrode or crack. Even exposure to extreme temperatures won’t affect its functionality and beauty, and this type of roof can last for about 80 years.
Slate roofs are among the most durable roofing solutions. They outlast many other roofing materials, and most of them are expected to last at least 40 years. The highest-rated slate shingles can last upwards of 75 years, while some models can even remain on the house for up to a century. Accompanied by long warranties, slate shingles are an outstanding long-term solution, especially for homeowners who don’t plan on moving any time soon.
