How to choose a roofing

In order to make it easier to decide on the choice of roofing, you need to pay attention to some criteria - these are:

• 1) Estimated load. Some roofing materials are quite heavy and it will be necessary to take this into account even at the construction stage, reinforcing the truss system and foundation.
• 2) Environment and climate. Analyze the location of the house. Is there a lot of vegetation around? Are there roads? What climate. For example, for buildings located in a dense pine forest, it is better not to choose a rough coating surface, otherwise all the needles will accumulate on the roof. And for buildings in the coastal zone, you should not choose a material subject to corrosion.
• 3) Design architecture. Based on the complexity of the roof, the number of slopes, their angle of inclination and kinks, one can understand how difficult it will be to install this or that coating. How much trimming will remain and whether the waterproofing will be reliable. In this matter, it is better to consult with professionals by calling the numbers listed on the site.

Metal roofing makes a loud noise during rain, ceramic products are free from this drawback. Their special shape prevents snow from falling like an avalanche. Ceramic tile is a piece material, providing an opportunity to equip even the most complex roofs with a minimum amount of waste. The use of the glazing method in the production allows you to expand the color range of the material to infinity, as well as increase the moisture resistance of the coating.

What should be considered when choosing tiles? An important parameter is the color of the material. It should directly depend on the color of the facade, windows, gutters and other elements. When determining the size of the tiles, the number of planes on the roof must be taken into account. If the surfaces are large, it is better to give preference to enlarged products. This will facilitate installation and give the roof a special splendor. The installation of roofing will be significantly accelerated if the tiles are equipped with grooves. The price per m2 of tiles can also be of no small importance, it depends on the manufacturing technology, the raw materials used, the manufacturer and other factors.

Other parameters also influence the choice of the type of tile. The most important among them are the type of roof being built and the angle of the slope. Each tile model is calculated separately.
