5 Factors to consider when choosing roofing materials

Feb 24, 2020

Your roof is a fundamental element of your business as well as your home, which is why you must do your research and make sure you make the right choices in your
building process. Remember a roof will last for decades, so you want to make sure you are getting the best kind of roofing system. Style, functionality, and performance
are all significant features, but there are factors often overlooked. Among other considerations, you will want to find a roof you can easily maintain and most
importantly, you will need to find a quality company to install your new roof. For those building their first home or business all this may seem a bit overwhelming
so, here are 5 key factors to consider before selecting your roofing material.

1. THE STYLE OF YOUR HOME OR BUILDING

The first thing to consider is the architectural style of home or commercial building as this may dictate what type of roofing materials you will need.
For example, while asphalt shingles are compatible with most residential homes, tile roofing may be more suitable for the style. Commercial buildings, on the other
hand, may need a built-up roof. Therefore metal roofs might suit this style better.

3. AESTHETICS

Ask yourself, what look do you want? People have different preferences and
requirements; what one person might consider attractive, may no appeal to the
next person. The choice you make as well as your budget will determine the
material you can select to achieve the desired look.

4. SURROUNDINGS AND DURABILITY

Some materials last longer than others last and are more resistant to decay, moisture as well as other environmental hazards. Select the most appropriate materials for the
weather conditions in your surroundings and make certain they are long lasting. If uncertain, consult an expert, they will help you determine the materials that are
most suitable for your needs.

5 SUPPLIER

Selecting the correct supplier is very important, as it will determine the quality of the materials you get. The choice of the supplier will determine the quality of
materials that will, in turn, enhance the appearance of your business or home while being long lasting. No matter the quality of your roof itself, the installation will play a massive role in
its efficiency. Be sure to work with an installer that you trust. If you need help feel free to send us an mail: marketing@jcproofing.co.za or 010 040 8324. We are
