A home’s roofing is perhaps its most important part. It provides

protection from the harsh elements that come with Australia’s

unpredictable climate. With so many options of roofing materials

available, however, it can be hard to decide what to use.

The most important aspect of the decision though, is the durability of

the roofing materials in question. Roofs need to be sturdy and

dependable enough to shield the house from the elements

throughout the changing seasons.

These are the 4 most durable

materials when it comes to roofing:

Steel

Steel is perhaps the most popular

roofing material among homeowners

the world over. Most steel roofing is

made out of recycled materials and

have a protective layer of aluminium

for added durability.Thes are slightly

cooler than other roofing, as the

material absorbs sunlight differently

from other roofing materials.

Clay

Clay roofs come in many forms and

sizes. There are other forms of roofing

made of clay, which include ceramic

and terra cotta roofs. Clay is

extremely resistant to extreme

weather making it a very popular

choice among many Australian

homeowners.

Aluminium

This type of roofing is sturdy yet very

light at the same time. Aluminium

roofing comes in many different

colours,giving homeowners much

more options to match with the rest

of their exterior home’s structure.

How durable are they? They generally

last a lifetime.

Slate

Many homeowners find roofing tiles

attractive. Slate is the common material

that comprises these tiles, as it is a fine-

grained rock that manufacturers

subsequently break into smaller pieces.

They come in various shapes and sizes,

which makes them ideal for

customisation.
