Everyone knows that roofs are meant to protect us from heat, rain, cold and snow. And one must be very serious and should posses all the relevant knowledge regarding roof installation. Roof shingles fulfill all the above mentioned requirements. These are the small rectangular coverings for your roof that provides you shelter as well as style to your home.
Aluminum, asphalt, wood, slate are some very common covering materials that are available in the market. Each one of them has different characteristics and thus suits for different climatic conditions.
Asphalt shingles are broadly classified into organic and fiberglass shingles. The difference between the two is that former one is injected with asphalt and the latter is coated in asphalt. These are durable and can easily face the storms.
When it comes to beauty and look, wood shingles are preferred. These are the most preferred choice among many of us. These are accessible and are prepared in extensive range of models and configurations. Their use is restricted in places that have greater risk of fire.
Aluminum is the most increasingly used material that is used nowadays to secure and beautify our roofs. Aluminum shingles are durable and are available in affordable prices. Moreover these are non flammable and anti- corrosive. The material is well suited for hail prone areas.
Mostly all residential areas and palaces use slate shingles because these are least affected by bad weather conditions. They have longer life expectancy which in turn adds more years to your roof and home as well.
Ensure you have an adequate amount of nails while installing shingles. Your roof must be cleaned from all leaks and other microbes so that they can not harm your roof material any further. Moreover shingling should be done in dry weather.
So cleaning your roof before installing shingles on to it and beside this choosing of appropriate material for your roof should be done very carefully. Consider the advice of experts while installing them for your roof.
