Hello World! Welcome Friends! For a homeowner looking to renovate their home, the roof has always been one particularly challenging part. They can always choose another shape or color for their asphalt shingles, but that will just be going around in circles. That’s because, even though durable, asphalt shingles can quickly grow old.
If you’re stuck in this dilemma, you have a myriad of options. Modern roofing solutions are one of the greatest things about living in 2022, and you get to choose from over 100 different types. Here are some ideas to get you started.
Metal Roofing
You can always count on metal roofing to resist extreme weather conditions. Metal roofings are normally available in two types, either shingles or panels. You can also choose from a wide range of materials, including copper, aluminum, stainless steel, or zinc.
Despite their modern look, they’ve actually been around for quite a while. However, the metal roofings’ versatile, lightweight, sleek, recyclable, and long-lasting features certainly work in favor of making them some of the most-desired modern housing styles.
The only con of metal roofing is that it’s somewhat expensive, with its price starting from $100 to $300 a square. More expensive options can rise up to $600 to $800 a square. That said, they can last a lifetime, starting from 40 to 70 years.
Silicone Roof Coatings
Silicone roof coatings have been a lasting trend in commercial roofings, but now they’ve made their way into residential buildings as well. They’re the perfect tool for homeowners looking to renovate their roofs without tearing them all down.
They’re also quite practical in fixing and covering old shingles, as all it takes is two coats and they’ll be good as new. Silicone roof coatings also increase the roof’s durability, in addition to adding a protective layer against leakage and UV rays.
SUNGLAZE™ Polycarbonate Roofing
There’s something about see-through roofs that just screams majestic. Whether you want to make all your roof transparent or just the patio or pergola, a glass layer will surely take your house to a whole new level.
Unfortunately, the normal glass will only serve in heating the area and concentrating the sun rays. That’s why the architects at Palram SUNGLAZE™ roofing recommend the revolutionary solution: SUNGLAZE™ polycarbonate roofing. This roofing solution not only adds elegance to your house, but it’s also efficient, provides premium protection against the elements, and has a versatile range of colors to choose from.
Solar Shingles
We can’t talk about modern roofing solutions without mentioning solar singles. Although they have a relatively shorter lifespan, from 20 to 30 years, the renewable energy they produce is enough to compensate for this shortcoming. You’ll also need a building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) specialist to install it. That said, solar roofing can easily upgrade your home’s value by at least $15,000.
Home renovations projects can range from fun to daunting. However, every project should always serve more than merely making the house look good. If you’re looking for a way to upgrade your house, improve its value, and make you fall in love once again, there’s no way you’ll go wrong with modern roofing solutions.
