The storm-season has started.

Stormproof, low-maintenance roofs are more important than ever

 

Sudden heavy rain, high wind and hailstorms are frequent part of the news these days. The consequences are leaking roofs, damaged homes, and people in urgent need for roofers to fix their roofs before the next storm. On top of all this, roofers are difficult to get hold of recently. And even if you find one in time, repair costs come with a high price tag.

Not to mention large buildings, block of flats, when the repair work can get even more complicated. The height of the building, the ownership and responsibility issues can make it a messy issue. The best would be to avoid this all together, right?

 

How can we avoid roof repairs after storms hit our homes?

 

By choosing a stormproof, low-maintenance roof. Easier said, then done. Why?

Because the traditional roofing solutions, which are the most common roofs out there, can be in trouble when they need to cope with extreme weather conditions. Heavy clay and concrete rooftiles can be broken by hailstones and removed from their place by high wind. So can light roofs like asphalt shingles, which can get damaged by weathering so much that it may need roof replacement after as little as 10 years. 

If these common rooftypes may fail during fierce weather conditions, what roof can provide reliable protection for our homes regardless of the weather?
