This remains a popular choice for homeowners seeking weather protection and a huge selection of beautiful colors to complement their home. Three-tab shingles tend to cost less and are a great option for those with smaller budgets.
A laminated shingle creates depth by featuring tabs of varying widths separated by large, randomly-spaced gaps. The large spaces between the cut tabs highlight their thickness, creating a wonderful, visually appealing effect of depth.
This type of material is an evolution of asphalt roofing that combines asphalt with a variety of rubber modifiers and solvents. There are several ways of connecting pieces of this material. In a heat application process, the seams are heated to melt the mixture together, creating a seal. There is also hot-mopped application, like how conventional built-up roofs are installed. Cold-applied adhesives and self-adhesive membranes are two more recent options.
Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) is a single-ply reflective roofing membrane made of polypropylene and ethylene-propylene rubber polymerized together. It is typically installed in a fully adhered or mechanically attached system, allowing the white membrane to remain exposed throughout the life of the roof. TPO roofs are perfect for new construction or re-roofing where excellent performance is required at a cost-effective price.
The R Panel is a low-maintenance, durable alternative to conventional roofing. R Panel has a sleek, attractive appearance and are available in many colors. They are ideal for retro-fitting over existing composition shingles, and they save time and labor and disposal costs, which means a lower total project cost.
These roofs are perfect for certain types of contemporary or country-style homes. Due to the smooth, straight lines, these roofs give your home an “industrial” feel, but with a modern flair.
