Roofing is an integral part of every construction and something that we often take for granted. It protects us from the elements and provides us from shelter from the harsh winter months of rain and snow, as well as the summer months of sunshine and warm weather.
Roofing demonstrates not only practicality but also plays a vital role in the overall design of a structure. There are a number of options available, not only when it comes to your choice of roofing material but also the shapes and style. Often this will be dependent on where roofing is needed and the conditions that it will need to endure.
Common roofing types:
- Tiles
- Metal
- Shingles
- Green
- Thatch
What is a green roof?
With the population becoming more aware of our impact on the planet, a green roof is something that is becoming more well known and popular. It is like having a garden on your roof, with the construction made up of pebbles and plants as well as (of course) waterproofing and insulation. A green roof optimises space as well as having a positive impact on the environment. They help with water run off control, attract natural fauna and are visually appealing.
