It allows a home to look more aesthetically pleasing and gives it a more appealing look. Nowadays you can get different roofing tiles, giving you more freedom with the tiles and colours that you want for your home.

Most homeowners in the U.K. choose asphalt shingles because they are the easiest to find, most affordable and versatile. The most durable types are slate and clay tiles but they’re more expensive than materials like metal or wood. Functional roofing alternatives like green roofs and solar shingles are among the most expensive types.

Replacing an old roof is one of the best and most profitable ways to invest in a home. Choose the type of roof that suits your home, climate and budget and make sure if you’re installing a new roof to find the right roofing contractor for you.

Shingles (Asphalt, Fiberglass, Composite)

Almost 90% of homes in the UK use composite asphalt shingles because they’re affordable, durable and easy to install. They can last up to 30 years and can be recycled to make pavement.

Manufactures mix fibreglass, asphalt and mineral composite to create a variety colours like grey, brown, red, green or blue. However, their colour will fade over time due to sun exposure. The colour and quality will look different depending on whether you choose architectural or three-tab shingles.

Architectural

Three-Tab Shingles

Architectural shingles are the most commonly used asphalt roof material out of the three types of asphalt shingles. Not only are they the most popular asphalt shingle, but they are also actually the most common type of roofing material installed on roofs today.

They are designed to give your roof a good-looking random pattern or simulate the look of a wood shake roof.

A three-tab shingle is distinguished by three uniform cutouts, or tabs, made along the lower edge of the shingles.

Each shingle looks like three separate pieces when installed, but it’s only one. explains Joan Crowe, a technical services director for the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA)

Benefits of Three-tab shingles include:

• More cost effective than architectural shingles.
• Provides a nice, uniform look.
• Remain the most popular roofing shingle today.

Metal Roofing

Metal roof feels like a modern choice, but they’ve been around since the 1800s. Metal sheets and shingles continue to be a popular choice today because materials like aluminium and zinc are affordable, easy to transport, low-maintenance and beautiful even with age.

There are two types to choose from: shingles and sheets that are connected with a “standing seam.”

You can also have the metal pre-treated with sealants. While metal roofing can come in a variety of colours, you can also paint some styles.

Wood Roofing

Wood roofing pairs well

with charming Cape Cod cottages, cozy Craftsman and Tudor-style homes. They start to become sandy brown and silver with age. Wood roofs can last 50 years in dry climates but need to be treated in fire-prone areas like California.

Wet climates, such as the East Coast go through wood roofing more quickly due to water damage. Cedar, redwood and pine are common building materials because they each repel insects.

Clay Tiles

Clay tiles are one of the most popular roofing materials in the world and date back 5,000 years to glazed earthenware rooftops in China. You can choose from a variety of styles like Spanish, French, Scania and more.

While expensive to install and repair, clay tiles last longer than almost all other types of roofing. It’s common in places like Southern California and Florida because clay roofing is perfect for hot climates, can endure winds of up to 150 miles per hour and is incredibly fire-resistant.

Slate Roofing

Slate is one of the most durable types of roof material and is similar in cost to clay tiles. This material can last 50 to 200 years. In addition to being fireproof and resistant to high winds and extreme temperatures, it is also resistant to impact from hail and small branches.

You can choose from natural, quarried slate or synthetic alternatives like fiber cement slate or bituminous styles. Synthetic slate is much more affordable and has many of the same benefits of natural.

Green Roofing

Solar Shingles

Green roofs  cover your home with vegetation like grasses or native wildflowers that support pollinators. Green roofs often last 30 to 50 years.

Solar shingles are one of the newest types of roof materials. You’ll need to hire a roofer who specialises in building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) to install it. While solar shingles may work efficiently for 20 to 30 years, this renewable energy solution is an expensive investment.

Rolled Roofing

Typically one of the most affordable types of roofing, rolled roof is quite popular with homeowners and builders on a budget. All of the installation materials are affordable, and the labour is cost-effective, too.

Best for roofs with a lower incline, this rolled material can be hammered easily into place. It should not, however, be hammered onto flat roofs. Doing so can cause water leaks.
