subject: Handy Tips To Guide You Through The Roofing Solution Maze [print this page] A roof is a vital component of building a home. It is the biggest defense mechanism for a home that helps give it protection against the wind and the sun but most importantly, it helps keep the rain out. A quality, well-built roof not only helps in protecting the innards of the house, but it also keeps its occupants comfortable and safe.
Deciding upon the best way to roof a home is a result of evaluation, based on various factors. The roof design and the materials to be followed are based on research and experience. Ultimately though, the basic premise of a good roof design is grounded in the development of a solution that has the ability to provide shelter to the occupants of the structure. But a modern roof is designed to do more than that. It has to be aesthetic, durable, offer ease-of-maintenance and above all, it should suit the budget of the owner.
The aesthetic element otherwise known as the architectural design element is crucial to deciding on the final shape of the roof. This also has a major bearing on the type of materials used, as some materials lend themselves to complex roof designs while others can only be used in certain simplistic setups. Also, the theme of the structure is a major factor in roof design. For example, the roofing materials used in a villa built round Spanish or Mediterranean themes would be different than fro those used in roofing a modern apartment complex.
The life-span of a roof, is based on the materials used in its construction, the treatments (if any) that are given (both, pre as well as post construction) and the preventive maintenance that is carried out periodically. The weather conditions in the area that the structure is located in are a significant element in this decision. While corrugated iron sheets may make be light on the pocket and quick to install, they are also prone to corrosion and must be replaced as an entire sheet, if left untreated. On the other hand, concrete roofs make for a stable, long-term roofing solution. However, such roofs are prone to leakages and it can be extremely difficult to pin-point the source of a leak. Thus, maintenance of the materials used in the construction, tend to play a much larger role in the durability of the roofing solution.
Most home owners long for a roofing solution thats inexpensive, maintenance free and is infinitely durable. So, is there a one-size fits all solution to everyones roofing woes? Unfortunately, not! Almost all the roofing solutions have a periodic maintenance requirement to ensure years of service. This is why it is important to choose your roofing solutions carefully. The warranty terms of the product, the texture or colour of the materials used, the reputation of the manufacturer, suitability to the weather conditions, etc are some examples of factors one should consider.
