Over time, roofs endure significant wear and tear due to constant exposure to the elements, such as sun, rain and wind. The weather can degrade materials and lead to issues like leaks and structural weakness, resulting in a replacement being required. In addition, an ageing roof can decrease your home’s energy efficiency, leading to higher utility bills. Choosing a new roofmay seem like a simple task, yet selecting something that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional can be a challenge.
Your roof is a critical structural component of your home, but it can also influence your property's overall look and value. In this blog, we explore how you can achieve a balance between design and durability when installing a new roof and take a look at the latest trends in roofing. We'll also share some practical tips to enhance the durability of your roof, directly from our experience team at
Home Restoration Specialists.
A roof that lasts will be made from materials that can withstand different weather conditions whilst also fitting in with the style of your home. For example, in areas prone to heavy rain or snow, choosing a material like slate can be advantageous due to its long lifespan and low maintenance needs. However, the materials selected for your roof also need to complement the style of your property in order to improve its curb appeal.
When selecting materials for your roof, it's important to speak with a professional regarding what will not only look good but be a suitable fit for your home. Ceramic and concrete tiles can offer a traditional look, making them perfect for classic UK home designs. On the other hand, slate offers a more natural look. For historic homes, slate is usually the material of choice, due to its timeless appeal and it matches older homes perfectly, helping to preserve their history.
While selecting the right material is important, there are several ways you can increase the lifespan and efficiency of your new roof;
Over the years roofing trends have changed with flat roofing gaining popularity, especially in modern architectural designs.
Flat roofing offers a sleek, minimalist appearance and one of the emerging trends in flat roofing is the use of advanced membrane materials such as EPDM (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer). This rubber roofing material is highly resistant to tears and damage caused by weathering but can also contribute towards reduced cooling costs.
Flat roofs also provide an ideal surface for solar panels, as they offer a large, free area which has great sun exposure. This renewable energy source contributes to increasing your home's energy efficiency and sustainability.
