Despite roofing materials not changing drastically over many decades, the form and function has evolved somewhat in recent years. As we have seen in previous entries to this blog, it’s location, industrialisation and war that have characterised UK roofing material choices, and the most common can be summarised as follows:
- Concrete
- Clay
- Slate
- Stone
- Recycled Slate
- Reconstituted Stone
- Thatch
- Metals
You’re probably aware of these already, but do you know their differences, benefits and risks attached to each? It’s vital that you get clued up on any roofing material before renovating it or moving into a new property with a roof you are unacquainted with.
