Types of Asphalt Shingle Roofs
With the variety of options that asphalt shingles roofing provides, homeowners are able to achieve a unique look on the home without breaking the bank. These are the asphalt shingle types Elo Roofing roof services provider can install in Jacksonville FL homes:
Three-tab Asphalt Shingles
Three-tab shingles are the most common type of asphalt shingle roofing, classified by their cutouts which make them look like three separate pieces. They’re affordable, lightweight, easy to maintain, energy efficient, and can last up to 20 years.
Architectural Asphalt Shingles
Laminated with an additional asphalt layer and bonded with asphalt sealant, architectural asphalt shingles have a more defined, structural look and are more durable and waterproof than three-tab asphalt shingles. They come in a variety of shapes, colors and sizes and can easily mimic the look of more premium roofing alternatives like cedar and slate.
In addition to these types, there are also different materials that your shingles could be made of:
Fiberglass Shingles
Fiberglass shingles are made with a combination of woven fiberglass as the base, asphalt coating, and ceramic granules on top, these materials create a waterproof and UV-protectant shingle while also being extremely lightweight and thin due to its lower amounts of asphalt.
Organic Mat-based Shingles
Organic mat-based shingles are a kind of asphalt shingle roofing has a recycled felt paper layer for its base. They’ll be heavier, thicker, and slightly more expensive than fiberglass shingles but they’re also more rugged and flexible.
Advantages to Metal Roofs
Metal is one of the most reliable roofing materials on the market for commercial and industrial buildings. These are some of the characteristics that make it a great roofing option:
Durability
Metal roofing holds up well against all types of harsh weather conditions. It is even able to withstand debris and animal activity. The impact of extreme weather in the Jacksonville area makes metal roofing an excellent choice for durability.
Low maintenance
Maintenance on a metal roof is so easy that you could almost install it and forget about it. As with any roofing material, regular maintenance is a must, but the upkeep on a metal roof is so limited, that compared to other solutions, you’ll have a worry-free roof and save on costs in the long run.
Longevity
Its durability and ease of maintenance contribute to metal roofs lasting a very long time – up to 50-70 years. This is great news for any business as costs are significantly saved in the long run, considering regular commercial roof maintenance is observed.
Environmentally friendly
In most cases, a quality metal roof will be made of anything from 35% – 95% recyclable and/or recycled material. While the lifespan of a metal roof will be very long, when it does come time to remove it for whatever reason, the entire thing will be 100% recyclable, as opposed to being dumped in a landfill. In addition, its heat-reflecting capabilities means the homeowner will save on home energy costs too, by reducing the need for cooling in the home.
Value
While a commercial metal roof will cost more up front to install, it will cost less over its lifetime. The long-term investment is well worth it considering the reduction of maintenance and repair costs over the roof’s lifetime. On top of that, metal roof warranties also tend to be exceptional.
Types of Metal Roofing
Metal offers a wide spectrum of variations and materials under its umbrella, all of which can be installed by Elo Roofing. These are some of the most popular metal roofing varieties installed on commercial facilities:
Aluminium Roofing
Aluminium roofing has many benefits that business owners and property managers are attracted to. While it is durable, corrosion-resistant, cost-effective, and eco-friendly, aluminum roofing also doesn’t rust, enables smoother water runoff, and reflects the sun better than other metal roofing materials. This also makes it energy-efficient.
Steel Roofing
A popular choice for roofing in hail-prone areas particularly, steel roofing is super durable and low maintenance, which ranks it high on the longevity scale. Like most metal roofing materials, the heat reflection also contributes to reduced energy use and costs.
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
Standing-seam is the most popular iteration of metal roofing. Essentially, this type of roofing raises the seams beyond the level of the actual roof, thereby creating panels that run from the ridge to the eaves of the roof. Its interlocking system ensures that a watertight seal is created, and also makes it one of the strongest, most reliable roof systems on the market today.
Corrugated Metal Roofing
Corrugated metal is made from galvanized steel rolled into a wavy pattern. This corrugation process enhances the strength of the material, making corrugated metal a tough metal roofing option ideal for commercial properties. This is thanks to its light weight, durability and water-shedding features.
