When it comes to roofing, its not always just about trusses and shingles. There are more to roofs that just its ability to protect from rain and sunshine.

The roof can consist of any one of a number of outer skin materials, from shingles made of cedar, to tiles made of concrete or even terracotta.

• Slate Roofs. Slate roofs are made from slate which is a type of stone. This material is very expensive and rarely used in the United States, but it isn't unheard off. They make very good roofing skins because their weight provides stability to the entire roofing assemble and their low water permeability index make them a good fit for tropical, wet climates.
• Tile Roofs. The main benefit of tile roofs are their cost effectiveness and their resistance to fire, hail, precipitation and moisture. The tile is a natural insulator and helps maintain the homes internal temperature.
• Shingles. There are various types of shingles, ranging from wood-based ones like cedar to synthetics and asphalt. The benefit these roofing material are known for are their low cost high usage in mild weather areas. Usually, the roofs are less sturdy when using shingles due to the lighter weight and this reduces the cost.
