Roofing

In shopping for roofing products, one must consider the durability of the products, the cost, and whether or not the products fit the architectural style of the home. There are many roofing choices such as sheet metal, cement tile, slate, concrete tile, clay tile, metal, vinyl and wood shingles, and others. Remember that roof slope and structure makes a difference in the type of roof you can use. Roof framing must support the weight of the product you choose, so consult your builder or architect. In terms of green roofing products, one must compare sustainable design, energy efficiency impact, recycled content, potential for harvesting rainwater, durability, and the product's contribution to LEED points.
