Different Roofing Materials for Different Climates

The area that you live in can have a great effect on the type of roofing you need to choose for your home. Not every roofing material should be chosen based on the price, aesthetic value or personal preference. You need to consider the fact that different climates require different types of roofing material to provide the best protection and comfort for you and your family and for your home.

Metal Roofing
Metal roofing is extremely durable and could last up to 50 years or more. This roof is ideal for practically all types of climate, especially in wet or rainy areas. Modern metals are waterproof and resistant to corrosion. They are also treated to resist against algae infestation.

Flat Roofs
A variety of materials are available for flat roof applications. Some products seem to be suited better to certain climate zones. For example, if a contractor’s clients have buildings in drier and warmer climates, such as the Southwest, they have a couple options that will hold up best.

Pitched Roofs
Pitched roofs are those that are visible as you approach a building. This type of roofing system will likely be best for snow and rain.  Melting snow and summer rain will be able to make its way off the roof leaving less risk of water damage. There are many material options for pitched roofs, including shingles, wood shake, tile, metal or slate. For areas with heavy snow accumulation, metal might be preferable because other materials may lead to costly ice damage issues. Depending on the specific factors affecting your facility or building, metal options range from cold-rolled steel or zincalume to painted steel, painted aluminium, or even copper or zinc. One of the most important decisions you can make for a pitched roof is the underlayment because it will impact its durability.

Slate Tiles
This roofing material is extraordinarily durable and it is great from almost all climate conditions. It stands up well under heavy rains and it is great for cooling down your home in warm weather.
Clay Tiles
This material does not stand up well to climates with heavy snow, ice or hail, but they are great for areas that experience heavy rains and consistent sunshine.

Asphalt Shingles
More than 70 percent of all single-family homes in the US are roofed with asphalt shingles, though that number is slowly shrinking thanks to more energy-efficient and durable metal roofing.
Asphalt (composition) shingles dominate the market because they are affordable, offer a variety of attractive options and do a good job protecting homes from the elements.
