Just like anything else, roofing materials change based on what is currently trending. And while asphalt shingles may be the most popular type of roofing material, they certainly aren’t the only thing available. Consumers are starting to take notice and choose different types of roofing. As the cheapest option available, you can expect a lot of people to keep getting asphalt shingles in the future, but here is a look at some of the other options that are becoming popular for Spokane roofers.
Energy efficient roofing systems
Consumers have demanded more energy efficient materials be used on homes, and in response, we are starting to see the use of thermoplastic polyolefin membranes. These roofs are made with material that has amazing resistance to ultraviolet and chemical exposure. They are flexible and durable in all temperatures, so they are good for Spokane where we see all four seasons. TPOs are becoming much more widely accepted as good roofing material.
Metal roofing
Many people are starting to realize that metal roofing lasts longer than asphalt or wood, and it has incredible resistance to extreme conditions. No matter where you live, metal roofs won’t need as much repair and will do a better job of keeping the elements out of your home. Even insects won’t be able to infiltrate. Not to mention, from a design perspective, metal roofs can be made with different styles giving you a lot more options for creating a look you want.
Solar roofing
As solar is becoming more popular, new options keep popping up for roofing options. Those who want solar no longer have to get huge, ugly panels on their roof. Instead, you can build your entire roof from solar panel shingles. While still a new type of material, it is going to become increasingly popular throughout the year.
