Five Popular Roofing Trends

Flat roofs are more flexible in terms of what you can do with them: they can better support solar panels, perhaps turn into a green roof, and even support a rooftop deck.

FREMONT, CA: It is no surprise that because the roof is such an important aspect of the house, people continually seek ways to make it stand out. After all, just because a roof's purpose is to protect your property doesn't mean it can't also look stylish while doing so. This concept has resulted in some new and inventive roofing options that are generally more useful than standard asphalt shingles. Here are five popular roofing industry trends:

Cool Roofing

Light tiles and reflecting paint are the two most common types of cool roofing. Both of them work in the same way. They reflect the sun's light to keep the house cooler and the A/C system from working as hard. It will not only keep the house cooler, but it will also extend the life of the roof, saving money in the long run.

Silicone Roof Coatings

Silicone roof coatings allow you to change the color and durability of an existing roof by applying a fresh layer. Two coatings of the product are all that are required to form an impermeable, leak-proof barrier that will not decay or fracture when exposed to the sun's harsh UV rays.
