Fiberglass-Laminated Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles have been used on homes in North America since the early 1900s. Since that time, leading shingle manufacturers, like CertainTeed, have been continually improving asphalt roofing products through their research and manufacturing efforts. As a result, an asphalt shingle roof has become a great value. Today, asphalt shingles can be purchased in a wide variety of colors, designer styles and weights. These products have become so attractive an rugged that 80 percent of the homes in North America now have an asphalt shingle roof.
Membrane Roofing
Membrane roofing is a type of roofing system for buildings. It is used on flat or nearly flat roofs to prevent leaks and move water off the roof. Membrane roofs are most commonly made from synthetic rubber, thermoplastic (PVC or similar material), or modified bitumen. Membrane roofs are most commonly used in commercial application, though they are becoming increasingly more common in residential application.
•Synthetic Rubber (Thermoset)
This type of membrane roof is made of large, flat pieces of synthetic rubber or similar materials. These pieces are welded together at the seams to form one continuous membrane. The finished roof's thickness is usually between 30 and 60 mils(thousandths of an inch) (.75mm to 1.5mm). Other types of related materials are CSPE, CR, and ECR.
•Thermoplastic Membrane
This is also similar to synthetic rubber, but the seams do not form a continuous membrane. The 'lap' seams are bonded (melted or dissolved) with heat or solvents, and can be as strong as the rest of the membrane. Other related materials are CPA, CPE, EIP, NBP, PIB, and TPO.
•Modified Bitumen
This type of roofing is an evolution of asphalt roofing. It is made from asphalt and a variety of modifiers and solvents. There are several ways of connecting pieces of this material. In a heat application process the seams are heated to melt the asphalt together and create a seal. There is also a cold-applied adhesive application process, and some self-adhesive forms of this system. This material is also referred to as APP or SBS.
Metal roofing
Metal roofing has long been considered a low maintenance roofing system. But it no longer is just a utilitarian choice as today's metal roofing includes an amazing variety and palette of colours, styles, textures, and designs.
It comes in plain galvanized steel or simple galvalume finishes, or is prepainted in baked enamel, SMP polyester, or Kynar 5000 paint finishes. It also is available in aluminum prepainted finishes but the "norm" is now the Steel Roofing products.
Aluminum has experienced some paint finish problems in certain areas such as ours, and we don't normally recommend aluminum roofing. As some of the problems with Aluminum Metal Roofing were related to cheap paint finishes and their eventual de-lamination and peeling, we can't fault all Aluminum manufacturers, but only those who are too cost motivated. We're certain there are some good finished available for Aluminum Roofing, but we haven't found many cost efficient ones yet.
Growing in popularity are the standing seam roll formed panels such as Pro-Lock panels. These include a hidden fastener installation and simply "Snap" together prior to screwing down along the hidden fastener flange. As the screws on metal roofing are often in need of inspection after ten or 15 years when they are installed "exposed" like on most typical cladding panels, the standing seam and snap-lock seams require less maintenance because of the hidden fastening.
Some of the most exciting changes to metal roofing has been the advancement of new textures for metal roofing panels. These include the new clay tile appearance panels. The look of real glazed clay tiles. They are constructed of heavy gauge Galvanized Steel with a Kynar 5000 paint finish. Light-weight and strong these panels can be formed in the length you require up to about 20 feet long. At 43 1/2" wide the project can be closed in no time.
