ASPHALT & ASPHALT FIBERGLASS SHINGLES
Although these terms are used interchangeably, most roof shingles used today are technically known as asphalt fiberglass shingles. Modern shingles have a fiberglass mat embedded in them to offer extra strength and tear resistance.
These shingles are the most popular type of roofing for sloped roofs because of their affordability, durability, easy installation, and the wide range of colors available. Premium grades of “laminated” asphalt fiberglass shingles are typically warrantied for 50 years.
CLAY & CONCRETE TILE ROOFING
Clay and concrete tile roofing are commonly linked because they are both masonry roofing materials that require similar installation. For both clay and concrete molding, roofing tiles are designed to overlap and/or interlock with adjacent tiles.
Clay and concrete tile roofs are excellent in hot, dry climates, but they shouldn’t be installed in areas where heavy, regular rain and freezing temperatures are common.
CORRUGATED ROOFING
Corrugated roofing is well known for its distinct appearance as a thin sheet that contains a symmetrical pattern of alternating ridges and grooves. Corrugated roofing usually comes in sheet form, some manufacturers do provide large shingles. Corrugated roofing can be made from steel, polycarbonate or an asphalt-fiberglass composite, and is more appropriate for agricultural and commercial buildings and small sheds than houses. One important positive of corrugated roofing is that it can be fastened down over an existing shingled roof.
Corrugated metal roofing panels are a great fit for sheds and other garden structures.
FLAT ROOFING
Flat roofing is closely related to “low-slope” roofing because of the similar treatments used on both. Residential and commercial buildings are commonly treated with single-membrane systems like EPDM or rubber roofing, thermo-polyolefin (TPO) roofing and PVC roofing. Metal roofing is an option for low-slope roofs, but not for flat roofs.
High-density Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) roofing is an alternative system that coats the roof with a continuous layer of foam insulation that can also serve as the finished roof surface (as long as a protective coating is applied over the foam).
Make sure you hire an experienced professional when working with flat roofing due to the potential of leaks.
SLATE ROOFING
Most roofing slate used in the U.S. comes from slate deposits in Vermont and Pennsylvania.
Expensive to manufacture and tricky to install, this “stone” roof is among the most expensive available. When properly installed and maintained, a slate roof can last for 75 years or more.
Slate is king of roofing materials but finding someone who can install or repair it may be a challenge.
