Different Shingle Roof Types that Manufacturers Offer:
-
-
- Metal Shingles. Metal roofs can be installed using stone-coated metal shingles (that gives an aesthetically shingle roof appearance) or standing seam (big metal sheets and have ridges). Metal roofs typically will last longer than traditional shingle roof installments, but will cost more because of material and because it takes longer to install. Materials used for metal standing roofs include stainless steel, galvanized steel, zinc, titanium, copper, galvalume steel and aluminum.
- Asphalt Shingles. Four kinds of asphalt shingles include 3-Tab Shingles, Architectural Roofing Shingles, Impact-Resistance Shingles and COOL roof shingles. According to the Asphalt Roofing Manufactures Association, more than 80% of roofs are made of asphalt shingles for their low maintenance, high wind and rain resistance, and good-looks. 3-Tap shingles have three flaps that are all equally spaced and uniform in appearance. Architectural Shingles (also known as dimensional shingles or laminated shingles) are more expensive than regular 3-tab and create a multi-dimensional appearance to a roof after installment because of the way they are made (by laminating two layers of shingles together. Impact-resistant shingles(flex roofing) are modified shingles that are designed to withstand hail and debris damage reinforcing the asphalt with a mixture of polymers, like styrene-butadiene-styrene (or SBS) that allows the shingles to have a bouncy effect when hit by falling object ect. Finally, COOL roofing shingles are infused with reflective solar granules that reflect light and heat and help to cool the building as a whole.
- Luxury Shingles. These asphalt shingles are meant to mimic the appearance of other roofing types such as metal, wood, tiles and more.
- Tile shingles. Tile roofing is normally used for historical southwestern buildings (residential and commercial) but are sometimes seen in Kentuckiana. Tile shingles are made up of concrete or similar materials that are very heavy and therefore must only be considered as a roofing installation option if the rafter and main structure of the roof and handle very heavy loads. Slate tile shingles are thinner layers of natural stone, rock but ultimately require similar load bearing requirements as other tile shingles.
-
Roofing Tip: For weaker roof structures, investors and homeowners should consider a lighter asphalt roofing material. Certain asphalt shingle types are colored to look like tile and therefore will achieve this aesthetic appeal to the home or business.
-
-
- Wood Shingle & Wood Shake Shingles. Wood Shake Shingles are lightweight, are non-fire resistant (which makes them unable to get Class A fire resistant rating), add a classic rustic look to your home and are typically made out of redwood or cedar. Wood shingles are slightly smaller than wood shanks but are cut more carefully than their wood shank counterparts.

Along with the different shingle types available, Lanesville residents must choose the best one to fit their particular roof style. Roof style has a lot to do with roof slope. Roofing contractor in United States refer to roof slopes based on a ratio (vertical measurement by horizontal measurement). For example, if a roofer talks about a roof having a slope of 10 in 12 (10:12 or 10/12) this means that the roof raises 10 inches vertically for every 1 foot (or 12 inches horizontally) .
Most Common Roof Styles in Southern Indiana:
Gable Roof – most common roof style. Multiple gable roofs can be added on different parts of the roof like above doorways and patios.
Dutch Gabled Roof –mixed roof style that combines gable roof and hip roofing techniques into one.
Hip Roof – have four equal lengths and slopes that allow for high roof visibility from the street.
Mansard Roof – more costly installment and most often seen in France in the late 1800s, before spreading to Italy, and the United States. This roof style includes double roof slopes on each side (the lower slope being more steep than the upper half) which allows for more attic space and ability to install windows when desired. These roof types must be properly installed and maintains to avoid leaking.
Shed Roof – also known as “lean-to” slope that can vary between 4 inch slopes and above depending on preference, although lower slops are most often seen. This roof style include one slope across the entire roof and are commonly seen on garages and other commercial buildings.
