A Brief History Of Roofing

       Early forms of roofing have been dated to over 5,000 years ago, in regions of China, where the first developments in clay roof tiles originated. Since that time, countless advancements have been made and several other materials have been utilized. Throughout the first century, both tile and slate were used by Greek and Roman civilizations. In Western Europe, by the eighth century, the most common form of roofing was thatched roofs, and by the eleventh century wooden shingles had taken over as the roofing material of choice. Today, we have nearly a dozen different materials that are commonly used in roofing, dependent upon a few criteria, namely: climate, cost, and characteristics of the roofing material itself. Below, we touch on the basics of each of the most common roofing service materials used today.

Asphalt Shingles

       Asphalt shingles are found are more houses than any other material and there are a few reason why. This material is durable, composed of a fiberglass base which is covered with asphalt and texturing granules. Due to the composite nature of these shingles, they are quite good at flexing and adapting to any movements of a roof due to expansion and/or contraction. Asphalt shingles typically have a 20- to 30-year warranty. It is also relatively easy to repair this type of roof material as broken shingles can be replaced individually with relative ease. Additionally, due to popularity, nearly every roofing company is familiar with working with asphalt shingles.

Standing Seam Metal Roofing

       This is the most common type of metal roofing material. These panels interlock at the raised joints which helps create a water-tight seal. This roofing material has been steadily increasing in popularity in areas receiving heavy snowfall as well as areas that face the threat of wildfires as this roofing is fireproof. These panels are typically made of aluminum or steel, so they have great longevity characteristics, and they are full recyclable once they do wear out. It is not uncommon for these roofs to last 50 years. Some have been found to last in excess of 75 years. Due to the fact that this roofing material requires a specialized skillset for installation, many companies do not install them. As a result, this is yet another roofing option that is in the mid-range portion of the cost spectrum.

Clay Tile

       Clay tile is one of the more expensive options available for roofing material. Made from earthen clay, these tiles are molded into rolled or interlocking shapes, and then oven-fired to increase their hardness and durability. In it's organic, unglazed state, this material typically has a reddish-brown hue to it. However, when glazed, it can take on a new color or design appearance and when fired becomes ceramic tile. Clay tile tends to last more than a century and holds up well against the elements, specifically in hotter regions and/or those with salty air.

Eco-Friendly Green Roof

       This is, by far, the most unique choice of roofing material. A green roof is one in which moss or other organic, living plant matter is used. This roof material is definitely not commonplace and requires extra, specific planning prior to install. This organic roofing option gives back to the environment. It can put oxygen back into the air, provide an additional layer of insulation and absorb rainwater. This roof is created by installing a waterproof membrane, and then ensuring adequate drainage is present, followed by planting the foliage materials of your choosing. Costs will vary widely depending upon choice of plant-life and level of maintenance required will also be determined by these choices. Not all building codes allow for this type of roof to be installed, so prior to doing so it always advisable to check with your local building department before making a commitment.

Slate tile

       By far, the most expensive material on the list, slate is arguably the most attractive roofing material available. Slate roofs have been known to hold up for over 200 years. Slate is easy to quarry, due to the nature of it's composition, which makes it a great choice for roofing material. However, it requires installers with a highly specialized skillset, and is, as a result, not offered by many roofing companies. Slate is also quite heavy and may, in some circumstances, require additional reinforcement.

Metal Shingles

       Metal shingles are a relatively new roofing material and they offer many features. For people who aren't particularly fond of how a typical metal roof looks, this is a great option. These shingles have all of the strength, durability, and longevity characteristics associated with a meatal roof, and they can be finished with a baked-on coating or texturing granules. Additionally, these shingles can be fabricated to mimic the look of clay and slate tiles, asphalt shingles and more. They have a lifetime rating of anywhere from 30 to 50 years, however they are one of the more expensive than other option such as asphalt shingles.

Concrete Tile

       Concrete tile is an alternative to clay tile with many of the same characteristics, advantages, and installation techniques. Due to its composition, it can be made in a variety of color hues, as well as various shapes and thicknesses. These tiles can be used to simulate other roofing materials, and they can be finished with a decorative coating as well. They are quite heavy, and on occasion, require additional reinforcement prior to install. Due to their heavy weight, these tiles tend to be a good choice in regions subjected to heavy winds. The life expectancy of a concrete tile roof is typically 50+ years and the cost is on the higher-end of roofing materials. Nothing sets off a stamped concrete patio quite like a concrete tile roof.

Wood Shingle/Shake

       A quite attractive option, wood shingle or shake roofs tend be the top choice among nicer, luxury homes. However, they do have their limitations. These roofs are not particularly good in damp regions or in regions where the threat of wildfires is persistent. They can be quite expensive depending on which wood material is used, and a shake roof (thicker wedges with a rougher texture, produced by splitting wood) is typically more expensive than a wood shingle roof. Longevity with this type of roof is very climate-dependent. In dry environments, it is not uncommon for these roofs to last 60 years. However, in damp areas, they may only last 20 years, which is why they are not recommended for this application.

Synthetic Slate tile

       Nearly undetectable from the ground, this material looks very much like the real deal. These tiles are nearly identical in appearance to actual slate tiles. However, they are manufactured from a combination of polymers, rubbers, and plastics. This process makes for an end product that is significantly lighter-weight than slate, with the same appearance. This roofing material is also on the lower-end with regard to material cost. Additionally, due to the manufacturing processes employed, these tiles have very good longevity and weather resistance. Many manufacturers of synthetic slate tiles offer warranties of up to 50 years.
