Roofing - roof cladding or coating of the building, exposed to weathering. Its main function is to divert rain and melt water. The main properties of the roof is a light, durable, economical to manufacture and use.
The roof consists of a base layer (crates, solid flooring, ties), which rests on the carrier structure, roof insulation layers and coatings, protecting the insulation from the environment. The roof can be insulated in varying degrees. From inside the roof structure can be applied vapor barrier to prevent the negative effects of condensation.
That from the roof on a flat roof effectively rolled water, they have a small bias.
Since the roof is directly exposed to environmental stresses, it should be waterproof, moisture-resistant, resistant to aggressive chemicals against solar radiation and frost, should not be subject to warping, cracking, should not melt, warmed by the sun. In connection with this work the reader is laborious.
Roofing materials.
Ruberoid - the most used material in flat roofs and roofs with low slopes.
Asbestos-cement sheets. Corrugated is a corrugated steel sheet, painted, galvanized or otherwise coated.
Galvanized sheet steel used in the folded roof, can be a piece and roll.
Corrugated bitumen sheets of cardboard.
Wooden roofs (TEC shingles, shingles) cheap in material, eco-friendly, can breathe truss construction, but require skilled roofer.
Roofs made of natural stone (slate), virtually unlimited service life.
Copper - a very durable material and without additional processing. It is resistant to weather events and other environmental influences. Formed on the copper coating consisting mainly of oxides, which protects the metal from corrosion.
Titanium-zinc (zinc or titanium) - modern roofing material. Economically, it is quite advantageous because less copper, and in their aesthetic characteristics close to tinned copper. Externally, the roof of the titanium-zinc and tin-plated copper will look almost the same. Standing seam roofs service life of titanium zinc up to 140 years or more.
Aluminium - a reliable and promising material for roofing. Sheets with a special polymer coating ensures a long service life and the color of the roof. Light weight aluminum roof can reduce the need for supporting structures, which reduces the cost of construction. The service life of an aluminum roof not less than the roof of copper. It is 100-150 years.
Parchment - bespokrovny material obtained by impregnating roofing paper soft oil bitumen. It is used as a backing material.
Roofing felt - is produced by coal-impregnated roofing paper or slate Degteva materials and subsequent topping it with one or two sides of the mineral powder. Use it at the device roofs.
Reed, straw, sod roof (or other local materials).
Keramoplast basis for the production of the product is a polymer with a special additive, which is a natural ingredient, with excellent reinforcing properties.
Roof tiles:
Ceramic roof tiles, virtually unlimited service life. Heavy tiling stabilize the roof absorbs rain and wind. Due to the large thermal inertia of the tiling, warmed up in the afternoon in the sun, after a long and slow approach gives the accumulated heat, creating an air flow under the roof, ventilated and dry the roof structure. This property is only natural tile.
Metal simulates ceramic tile, but not weight design, with her worst performance of thermal insulation and noise insulation (eg, in the rain), can accumulate static energy, and therefore require grounding.
Bitumen shingles (also: shingles or soft tile) - is a roofing material made from glass fiber by impregnation with bitumen and stone powder pellets, a lot of options for color and size. Tile is easy to install, quiet and does not have to accumulate static energy.
Cement-sand tile ceramic has many properties but is much cheaper.
Composite tiles (metal with stone grit, quiet tile) is a multi-layer roofing sheet of steel, coated on both sides Aluzinc alloy. In the role of decorative and protective coating acts crumb of natural stone, the top covered with a matt glaze.

Great list of roofing materials. Many don't realize just how useful the original asphalt shingle still is. It still gets the job done, even better if you combine it with fiberglass plates.

When choosing the roofing option for our homes, it is advisable that we pick what works best for our situation such as the foundation of the house, the weather condition of our area, our budget and the like. When in a pinch, we can always ask our chosen contractor’s opinions. Great info, by the way!

This is very informative, and homeowners should read this because roofing issues can be a big problem. Today, there are numerous types of roof tiles available, which makes it hard to decide what kind of roof material will best fit your house. I guess it’s best to have a metal roof with waterproof treatment because this is more practical as it lasts for long years.
