How to Choose the Right Roofing Materials | Great Canadian Roofing & Siding
Let’s break it down by roofing type.
Asphalt Shingles
There are at least two basic types of asphalt shingles: traditional (3-tab style) and architectural.
Here are some benefits of asphalt shingles:
- They are the least expensive of all shingle types
- They’re low maintenance—and easy to walk on when you need to inspect your roof
- They come in a variety of colours
- They’re very easy to repair (due to simplicity of cutting/fitting)
- Architectural styles are thicker and their look mimics slate shingles
Disadvantages:
- They may not last as long as other types of shingles
- They may be blown off or damaged in windy conditions
- They can be damaged by excessive heat or mildew
Cedar Shingles
Here are just a few benefits of cedar roofs:
- They’re attractive, long-lasting, and have great curb appeal
- They’re resilient
- They provide energy benefits and insulation
Disadvantages:
- Expense
- Need for regular maintenance
- Flammability in dry climates
Metal Shingles
Metal roofing may be less-known than other options, but it offers considerable benefits:
- It’s lightweight, durable, and virtually maintenance-free
- It offers tax incentives and energy benefits
