What to use to cover a roof? Choosing a roofing material.

The roof is a wreath of the house and the major detail of an ex-terrier. Even a castle will lose its charm if staled. And the ceramic tile will decorate the most modest building. At a choice of a roofing material it is necessary to pay attention not only to an aesthetics, but also on protective functions and durability.

For many people the favourite among materials is the copper roof. In the course of time it becomes covered by a patina that gives to an ex-terrier special charm and respectability. For the first year of service red colour of a covering gets brown tone, and then the copper roof darkens to matte-black colour. And only through 15 - 20 years the shade becomes malachite-green. Though there are ways greening, applied before packing, but this pleasure is not cheap.

The copper roof is marvellously durable, term of its service exceeds century! During century "life" it will not demand additional looking after or painting, after all under a patina the covering is almost impregnable. Corrosion firmness, ecological compatibility, absence of working costs and a noble kind – here the basic advantages of a copper roof.

Ceramic tile - the most ancient and most popular roofing material. This red-brown symbol of prestige and well-being make from potter's clay. The wide palette of colours and shades is reached thanks to engobe coating, and also covering with glaze. The ceramic tile is reliable, fire-resistant, to it at all acid rains and weather whims. It possesses excellent sound insulation and does not demand repair within a century! Certainly, it is the best material for smart design of a roof.

Among reliable metal coverings is creased covering. It is mounted by means of aluminium capping, maintaining the big loadings that excludes probability of occurrence of penetration of a cold. The crease roof does not burn and does not demand difficult repair, on its smooth surface well flow down deposits, and flexibility of a steel allows to cover roofs of non-standard forms.

As it is known, arrival of spring is fraught not only a sonorous thaw, but also an avalanche descent of snow. To secure a roof, are applied snow retentions. Installation of this protection frame is similar to installation of the bridge and a roofing protection. Besides, snow retentions – a necessary measure of security for dormer-windows.
