Making the right decision for your project’s finish might be challenging given the wide range of roofing materials available. However, you can be sure that there will be a roof tile available to match your demands, whether you are going for a traditional appearance or a more modern one.
There are numerous different types of roofing materials available with TSL. Each type of roof tile has its own benefits and qualities, including simplicity of installation, durability, longevity, and beauty. It all comes down to considering the advantages and disadvantages of each choice and choosing the roof tile that best suits you.
Some of the roof tiles available on the market are:
- Clay roof tiles
- Concrete roof tiles
- Natural slate roof tiles
- Reclaimed roof tiles
- Metal roof tiles
- Lightweight roof tiles
- Interlocking roof tiles
- Roman double-style roof tiles
- Pantiles
Select your roof tiles based on the following:
Roof design and structure
Your choices for roof tiles will depend on the style and pitch of your roof structure. Certain tile kinds won’t work for installation if the pitch is very low. Instead, you must carefully look for tile designs that are appropriate for low-pitch roof fittings.
Aesthetics and appearance
Naturally, you also want your roof to look the best. Consider the type of finish it will give your property while choosing each roof tile. A sleek modern slate or lightweight roof tile may look out of place on a historically built property with period characteristics.
Choose a colour that works well with the outside colour scheme of your property and does not compete with the brick. You should also think about how your new tiled roof will blend in with the aesthetics of the nearby properties and the general flow of the street.
Geography and climate
There are numerous diverse tile profiles that are utilised in various parts of the country, including UK. Consider the profiles that are common in your area when choosing a roof tile because your decision may be influenced by this information.
Also, take into account how the local climate may impact where your property is located. Do you reside in a region that has frequent hail and wind storms? Is your house located near the ocean? Do you have lightning storms and very hot summers?
Consider the level of resiliency and durability your selected tile will require to accommodate the regular weather patterns in your area.
Local planning restrictions
The local government may occasionally impose regulations that could limit your options for tiles. There may be development rules that dictate the sort of tile you choose should complement the neighbourhood’s aesthetic. On the basis of environmental considerations, other tiles can need separate approval.
Budget
Planning out a project budget is a terrific method to eliminate roof tile options that may not be the greatest fit for your budget, regardless of whether you are willing to spend without restrictions or want to work as affordably as possible.
Make careful consideration for potential supplemental expenses such as installation, shipping, and upkeep in addition to the initial tile cost.
