DIFFERENT TYPES OF ROOFING SHINGLES

DIFFERENT TYPES OF ROOFING SHINGLES

wood shinglesWhen installing a new roof, it's important to consider the pros and cons of several different types of shingles. That's because shingles are the first line of defense against the elements. They also play a huge role in determining your home's curb appeal. In addition to learning more about the different types of roofing shingles, consult with your local Salt Lake City roofing company to determine which shingles work best for your home and budget. Here's a look at a few of the most popular roofing shingles for your home.

 

Asphalt Shingles

Asphalt shingles are one of the most popular choices for residential roofs, as they provide a beautiful, affordable, and reliable roofing solution for any home. Asphalt shingles are available in a wide array of rich, gorgeous colors. While they tend to be less expensive than other roofing shingles, asphalt shingles have a relatively short life span of 20 to 30 years.

Wood Shingles

Wood shingles have been used for centuries and are often associated with historic buildings and residences. Wood shingles have a unique appearance and provide extra insulation for your roof, which may lead to lower heating and cooling costs. The disadvantages of wood shingles are higher roofing costs, higher fire risk if not treated, and more maintenance requirements.

Slate Shingles

Slate shingles are extremely durable, with a life span of up to 50 years. Homeowners are also drawn to slate because of its beauty. Slate shingles are available in a wide range of colors, including gray, green, purple, black, and red. Slate shingles are also incredibly resistant to fire and environmentally friendly. There are concerns about the weight and cost of slate shingles, however, so you will need to discuss slate with your Salt Lake City roofing contractor to decide if it's right for your home.
