-
The climate in your
region – if your geographic area is frequently affected by storms and other
extreme weather events, your roofing material should be able to withstand harsh
weather. Try to determine the type of the extreme weather that you need your
roof to resist – for hail-prone areas, you can choose impact-resistant
materials, for very hot or very cold regions, choose a material that can ensure
your home’s thermal balance;
-
The color and the
texture – try to make a decision about these aspects by taking into consideration
the overall design of your building as well as the appearance of the other
buildings in your neighborhood. Pick the color and the texture of your roofing
material in terms of the colors featured on your building exterior and also
make sure that your new roof will blend into your neighborhood;
-
The structural features
of your building – some roofing materials are heavier than others (clay tiles
and slate weigh much more than metal or shingle roofs), so make sure that your
building can hold up the extra weight added by your roofing material.
