No matter where you reside in the world, extreme weather can affect you and your property. When replacing your roof, repairing, or constructing a new roof, knowing the best materials for your climate can help protect your property.
Fiberglass Asphalt Shingles
Not only are these the most inexpensive on the market, but they also provide plenty of other advantages. Asphalt Shingles are very durable in extreme weather, are (typically) wind resistant, easy to maintain, and come in many colors to match your home and its visual appeal.
Cement Tiles
Made of out cement, these tiles provide a great deal of durability in extreme weather. Specifically, cement tiles do well in extremely windy regions and can even remain strong during hailstorms. They are also much cheaper than a tiled roof but give off a similar appearance.
Metal
Metal roofing is a great option for colder regions that experience snow and slate. However, if you don’t live in a cold climate, metal is still a very durable choice as it can withstand up to 140 mph winds. Moreover, in hot regions it can keep your energy bill down by using its reflective features to keep your home cooler.
