No matter where you reside in the world, extreme weather can affect you and your property. When it comes to roofs, most people don’t realize that the climate in which you reside influences the type of materials you use on your roof.
Clay “S” Tiles
For those who live in hot climates Clay “S” Tiles are a great choice. Due to its shape and material, the tiles promote a greater circulation, keeping your house cooler during the hot months. But it’s not JUST for hot weather, clay can withstand up to 125 mph winds and protect against rain and snow. However, keep in mind, although clay shingles are easy to replace when they break, they are often pricier than other shingles. Finally, clay is fire resistant, making it an all-around great option for roofing material.
Slate
Slate is a good look when it comes to visual aesthetics. The environmentally friendly roofing material is also very durable and wind and rain resistant. Additionally, it is less susceptible to leaks and water accumulation, making it a great choice for sloped roofs. The main downfall of slate is that is it a rare material, making it more expensive than others.
