Make the Roof of Las Vegas Homes Stand Out

When choosing the materials for the roof of Las Vegas New Homes, there are several things that you have to consider.
Although the building code in your area may have a heavy impact on your
decision, consider also both the variety of materials and ease of installation.

Asphalt roofs comes in many colors, are
versatile, and is considered the standard in almost every region in the country.

Wood shakes and shingles roofs are usually
made of cedar, this material was commonly used on old houses. It will give Las Vegas Homes an attractive and rustic appearance and it is also a natural
insulator. These past decades it became out of favor as a fire hazard, although
it is starting to regain popular use again as synthetic wood shingles. These
synthetic ones offer the same look of wood as the natural one but without the
fire hazard.

Clay tile roofs are commonly used in
Spanish and Italian design. Conventionally, clay tiles are hand crafted and later by machine
extrusion of natural clay, textured or glazed with color, and fired in
high-temperature kilns. The exclusive visual qualities of a clay tile roof
frequently make it an important feature in defining the overall character of a home.

Slate roofs are mostly used in genuine antique
homes and unless you want to use the original material as much as possible, you
are much better off using more lightweight composites made of stone and
concrete.

Fiber cement roofs are durable and are
available in many colors to choose from. It is a good roofing material in homes
that are near the ocean because it withstands salt air and wind but it is heavy
and might be difficult to repair.

Other things to consider are longevity and
ease of installation. Some roofs are lightweight easy to install and repair
like asphalt and wood while others are durable and lasts for many years like
clay tile and slate which lasts for up to 50 years although the might be heave
and a bit difficult to install. Balance these factors carefully in choosing the
roofing materials that you will use in Las Vegas Homes.
