Wood Shingle

These are sawn from wood bolts such as red cedar and have

an average life expectancy of about 30 years. The use of wood

shingle is now mainly limited to building restoration because

of its durability, weather-proofing and low costs.

SlateThis one has a pretty high cost in comparison in comparison to

wood shingles and has an average life expectancy of around

80 to 400 years. The highest quality slates usually come from

Australia, Wales and a few specific areas in Spain.

Asbestos Shingles

This one was one of the choicest roofing materials of our Calgary roofing company because of a number of reasons. They have a very long life span and are also fireproof at the same time. But currently, their popularity has decreased a lot because of health issues. Hence, we have also more or less discarded the use of asbestos shingles for roofing purposes unless we’re asked to do so in special circumstances.

Ceramic tiles

These are costly indeed but they do have a high average

life of more than 100 years which is something comes

almost guaranteed with them. There are usually four types

of ceramic tiles that are used for roofing purposes: Imbrex

and tegula, Dutch roof tiles, Monk & Nun, Mangalore tiles.

Membrane RoofingMembrane roofing is usually done through the aid of large

sheets that are fused in some way at the joints to create a

continuous surface. Some of the types of membranes used are

EPDM rubber, thermoplastics, asphalt roll roofing and

bituminous waterproofing. The longevity of membrane roofing

usually varies according to the climate and use.
