There are so many different types of roofing materials to choose from these days. From asphalt shingles to stone coated metal, to concrete and clay tile, slate and even flat metal. Todays options are nice! But the advantages of plastic shingles for  residential roofing has some serious advantages!

First, other roofing materials:

  • Asphalt shingles are the most common and least expensive of the bunch. It’s easy to install and affordable. They have 25-50 year warranties too.
  • Stone coated metal and flat metal are nice in that they are very weather resistant and durable with low maintenance.
  • Concrete and clay tile have many great benefits too, if the original construction of the house is built for the weight. Some advantages of tile are excellent insulating properties and fireproof with Class A rating.
  •  Slate resists chipping, cracking and erosion, environmentally friendly and available in a wide array of colors, superior service life, high resistance to storm damage and fire, impermeable to water, moss and algae growth.

Now Plastic Shingles:

Roofing made from plastic resembles natural slate or wood shakes while weighing less than asphalt shingles and 75% less than slate. That makes it easier to lift and install.

This product is resistant to hail, wind, fire, and extreme temperature changes. Since this is flexible, you can walk on it without causing damage. This durability allows manufacturers to warranty plastic roofing for up to 50 years, with some even offering a lifetime warranty.

The advantages of plastic roofing for your home is that it is less expensive than slate, more energy efficient, and can be made from recycled material – making it an eco-friendly choice as well.
