The most popular kind of
roofing
Shingles
are the most common kind of roof for homes, and the most common kind of shingle
is asphalt. Asphalt shingles last at least 20 years, and can be recycled into
road material at the end of their useful life. The most popular asphalt shingle
is the 3-tab.
But
there are other types of shingle repair as well. Wooden shingles, which are usually
made of cypress, pine, redwood or western red cedar, last 30 to 40 years. They
resist rot and insects surprisingly well, but can catch fire. Wooden shingles
made from splitting rather than sawing wood are called shakes, and last a lot
longer than regular wooden shingles. Slate
shingles last longer still and are completely water-resistant. Shingles made of
composite material are less durable, but cheaper.
There
are many kinds of shingle, some of which last longer than others. The good news
is that all are small and relatively easy to replace without spending too much
money. The bad news is that they are also more easily damaged or knocked loose
than other forms of roofing, creating holes that need to be fixed as soon as
possible before bad weather gets in.
