Shingles, solar panels, ecological materials. Let’s take a look at some of the newest things in roofing.
Cold or white roofs
They are reflective coatings that allow the roof to reflect the sun’s heat instead of retaining it. A cool or white roof can reduce energy use.
Green roofs
These roofs require proper waterproofing and drainage, or they will not survive. If treated with proper care, they can last forever.
Slate roofs
They are the favorites of many roofers and homeowners as they are considered the most durable. The downside is its high cost.
Solar roof
The initial cost is high but in the long run, the savings are many times greater. If you care more about practicality than aesthetics, it is the perfect option.
Flat roof materials
Modern designs are growing in popularity, leading to the material becoming more accessible. These new PVC or TPO roofs are more durable than just a decade ago.
Metal and fire resistant roofs
Fire resistant metal roofs? They exist and are beginning to become more popular.
