A good home is the dream of any individual. One puts his heart and soul as well as the earnings of a life time to buy or construct the house of his choice.

While everything that goes into the making of the the house, be it the architectural design, construction stuff, internal fittings etc, are critical, the material used for the roof of the house is of paramount importance.

It is the roof that protects the building and its contents from the effects of weather. The chief role of the roof is to guard the house from rain, however, it also protects against heat, sunlight, cold and wind.

The material, construction and most importantly, the durability of the roof have to be kept in mind while having the roof constructed.

Amongst the various types of roofing material available, steel roofing, tiles and concrete are all time favourites.

Made specifically for harsher weather conditions, steel roofs come in the form of treated zinc-aluminum, such as Colorbond, as well as untreated zinc-aluminum. These roofs invariably have a warranty of up to 3 decades.

Concrete tiles or concrete are ...
... enormously durable and normally last for as long as 50 years. Concrete does not conduct heat or cold well, and therefore can help keep the home at a stable and comfortable temperature level.

Other tile variants may be terracotta, concrete or slate. Terracotta tiles may take the form of being frost-resistant or non-combustible. Slates on the other hand do not fade, crack or discolour and can last for generations if properly installed.

Sarking, the application of a foil material over the whole area of the room, helps keep out any water as well as provides wadding against the heat and cold. It also helps in providing insulation from sound.

The roof must also carry out the task of keeping out water. The large amount of rain water must be directed in an appropriate way, so that it does not cause damage or inconvenience.

One can take the help of a roofing company that will design and install a guttering system. This system will provide a rainwater catchment area and if necessary, a rainwater tank as well.

The aesthetics, colour, and looks of the roof are important, however what is most critical is the durability of a roof.

Any damage can have serious adverse effects on the total building. Moreover, since the roof is often the least easy to get to part of a building, repair and renewal is no cakewalk. Needless to say, the repair job will also dig a hole in the pocket of the owner.

It is imperative to choose a specialized roofing company that has the technical know-how and offers superiority in service. There are no short-cuts when it comes to the construction and maintenance of the roof.
