Which Roofing Materials Last the Longest

 

The decision to choose the materials for your roof can sometimes be more difficult than other stages of the roofing project, and the main reason is the variety of models and materials on the market. Most of us want durable roofs that protect our homes from the weather, but which are also aesthetic, integrating perfectly into the architectural style of the house.

In addition, the roof can often provide additional space that can be used to arrange an attic, so if you are careful to choose the most durable materials, not only will the house be protected from the weather, but you will also enjoy the benefits of energy efficiency and less need for Boulder roof repair required.

You can figure out which materials are the most durable depending on the warranty you receive for them.

Ø  Slate, concrete and clay tiles: these products are considered the most durable, with a life expectancy of 100 years or more.

Ø  Metal: Specialists estimate metal roofing to last up to 70 years, so this is another durable material you can opt for.

Ø  Architectural asphalt shingles: these products have an average lifespan of 30 years.

Ø  Wood shingles and shakes: wood roofing also comes with 30 years warranty, but it can last much longer depending on the quality and frequency of the maintenance, as well as the local weather.
