While not everyone gives a lot of consideration to the type of roof they want on a property, it can pay to think carefully about it, as some roofs require less maintenance than others, and so can be cheaper over the course of their lifespan. If your roof is in need of replacement, or you’re building a new home and are thinking about your roofing options, there are 3 types that will give you the best performance and need the least maintenance: 1.A slate roof This is actually one of the most maintenance-free types of roofing materials available today, and as it’s eco-friendly, long lasting and highly durable, it can help your home stay protected from the elements for longer, and cost you less money in the long term.
Resistant to even the harshest of elements, such as extreme temperatures, fire and wind, a slate roof is a high-performance option. That said, it does come with a high price tag, so you’ll need to consider your budget before opting for a slate roof. Composite slate roofing, on the other hand, offers a cheaper alternative to natural slate, and is engineered to be longer-lasting than natural slate. Your construction company or roofing specialist can discuss this option with you in greater detail.
A tiled roof Just as with slate roofing, tiles are a reliable and high-performing option that can last for years and require minimal maintenance. Due to the process in which they’re fired, tiles are very effective against a variety of elements, from fire and harsh sunlight to insects and rotting, and typically fade very little over time, even in strong sunlight and when exposed to excess moisture. Gutters, flashing and venting are usually the only parts of a tiled roof that may require some maintenance, and it’s important to keep in mind that they also offer one of the longest warranties in the roofing industry.
Metal roofing Typically made from copper, steel or aluminum, a metal roof is another low maintenance, high-performing material that never cracks, splits or corrodes. Sturdy, and with the highest fire-retardant rating, metal roofs can stand up well to severe weather conditions, which can save you big bucks in the aftermath of a storm. Renowned for its longevity, metal roofing can last up to three times longer than asphalt shingle roofing that is the most common type of roof in the U.S. Energy efficient, too, they’re also resistant to mildew, fire, corrosion, wind, rain and hail, making it a great all-round roof for every condition imaginable.
So, if your home or business is in need of a replacement roof, or you’re having a new property constructed and are considering your roofing options, the above 3 are sensible, practical choices that could save you a lot of money over the course of many years.
