Residential Jewelry Blue 3-Tab Shingles
The material does have one drawback to it: fragility. Natural slate can be fragile compared to other roofing materials, making maintenance that requires walking on the roof difficult, and any work related to the roof extremely expensive.
Roofing Material #5 – Wood
Wood roofing comes in two styles: shakes and shingles. Shakes are split on one or both sides of the wood. They’re usually thicker at the butt end than shingles and are commonly made from cedar.
Roofing Material #6 – Rubber
Rubber is the newest roofing material to hit the scene. Rubber roofs are usually custom-made to fit the structure although they can also be cut into rubber shingles. Rubber is more durable and less prone to brittleness and disintegration from the weather than other materials. It is also proven to last a long time and offer fire resistance.
Shingles are saw on both sides and have a thinner butt end. Other woods that are used for wooden roofing include pine, cypress, and redwood.
Homeowners find wood-surfaced roofs appealing for the organic appearance it gives to homes. However, wood is the least durable of roofing materials and won’t last even close to as long as some of its counterparts. Wood shake and shingle roofs can also develop rot, brittleness, water penetration, animal damage, moss, and mildew, which means regular maintenance.
