Each type of roofing has benefits and drawbacks of each. You can select it by considering the appearance, practicality, form and age of each plan. Here I will discuss some of the most popular types today:
Roof shingles
Roof covering made of thin pieces of ironwood (Eusideroxylon zwageri) depending on the circumstances of this age work environment, quality of iron used wood, and the angles in the roof. This type of roofing can last between 25 years to forever. The form is uniquely suited for home and country-style homes that blend with nature.
Traditional clay tile roof

This layer can be given a variety of color and protects the tiles from moss. Age could be 20 – 50 years can be asked to distributors. Its application is suitable for a modern dwelling in urban areas.
Concrete tile roofs
Shape and size similar to traditional land tiles, only the basic material is a mixture of cement and coarse sand PC, then given a thin layer that serves as a dye and waterproof. Actually, this roof can last almost forever, but the protective coating will only last between 30 years to 40 years.
Tin roof
The roof is actually made of thin steel sheets are given in electrolytic zinc coating. The goal is to make it rust resistant. So, the word zinc come from upholstery materials. This type of zinc coating will last as long as it has not gone away, which took place around the 30s. After that, the roof will start leaking if there are parts that rust.
Concrete roof
The roof is usually a flat roof made of a combination of steel and concrete. Widely used in modern homes and contemporary minimalist. Strong construction allows for use of this roof as a place to indulge. For example hanging clothes and farming with pot.
Leaks in the roof of concrete so often happens. It is necessary to control the casting and the use of waterproofing on the top layer.
