Weather conditions are the most important factor to consider
when installing a roof. In general, all types of roof cover materials are
designed to withstand bad weather of moderate intensity, but there are
differences that can significantly affect the performance of the roof during
severe weather.
Here are the details to consider when choosing the optimal
solution for your home:
·
Precipitation
quantity - if you live in an area with a higher amount of precipitation you
must choose a sloped roof and avoid flat roofs, as the water may accumulate
easier on them, if the drainage system is not properly dimensioned or if it is
clogged
·
Wind
- a roof must have adequate stability. In areas with strong winds, the
recommendation is to install ceramic, slate or concrete tiles, since they are
heavy materials, able to resist better in such environments.
·
High
temperatures - fibrocement tiles, but also bituminous shingles are very resistant
to extreme temperatures caused by direct sun exposure
·
Temperature
gradient over the seasons - the materials used for the roof must be
resistant to temperature variations and to the freeze-thaw cycle which
typically produces a lot of damage. Ceramic and concrete tiles are some of the
most flexible.
