Types of roofing
Shingles roofing
Composite asphalt shingles are individual overlapping (usually rectangular) sheets that are very popular and available in colours like brown, grey, green, red and blue.
Metal roofing
Metal roofing can be used as tiles, shingles and sheets. Often used are materials such as zinc and aluminium which are relatively inexpensive, low-maintenance and long-lasting.
Clay tiles
Clay tiled roofs are a classic choice, available in many styles, with the ability to withstand strong breezes and are extremely fire resistant.
Membrane roofing
Membrane is usually made of rubber or a PVC covering and can be found primarily on commercial buildings and condos. It creates a waterproof seal to protect a building's interior.
Clear roofing
Clear roofing is usually made of polycarbonate making it surprisingly tough, and heat-resistant with good protection from UV rays — perfect for outdoor decks in Australia.
Slate roofing
Slate roofs provide excellent insulation, are resistant to fire, solar heating and severe winds and are long-lasting.
Green roofing
Also known as living roofs, these feature foliage and greenery, which can even include herbs. They help with stormwater management and combating excessive heat. They are becoming increasingly popular in commercial roofing projects.
Roof systems
Roof systems encompass a coordinated set of components, including insulation, membranes, and structural elements, working together to create a watertight and energy-efficient roofing solution.
Roof accessories
Roof accessories are additional components that improve the functionality and durability of a roofing system.
Roof rainwater management
Roof rainwater management involves the collection and controlled distribution of rainwater from rooftops to prevent flooding and conserve this valuable resource.
The advantages of high-quality roofing supplies
Roofing is one of the biggest investments you can make in your home, and if you invest in quality, it will pay off with a roofing system that is durable, visually appealing, secure, warm and comfortable. An investment in the highest quality roofing supplies at the beginning, including roof framing and lining, and a professional installation, also means you will need to do less maintenance over time.
How to choose roofing supplies that are right for you
When choosing roofing supplies, consider your climate, budget, and stylistic preferences. For durability in harsh weather, materials like asphalt shingles or metal roofing are strong choices. For aesthetics, slate and tiles are currently popular options though are heavier and may need extra structural support. Costs, including installation, will nearly always be a major factor so be sure to check the price of these materials and labour and budget accordingly. It also pays to speak with roofing services companies to get their opinion on what might suit you best.
