Four Reasons To Choose Synthetic Roofing

While you’ve probably heard of synthetic roofing, you may not be entirely sure what it is, or more importantly, what makes it so great. One of the newest and smartest roofing technologies on the market, composite roof tile consists of tiles designed to exactly replicate popular roofing materials (including slate, shake, and Spanish barrel tile roofing) that are made from recycled materials. Offered from companies like Brava Roof Tile, synthetic roofing is quickly taking over the building market, and with good reason. Read on to learn four reasons you should consider composite roof tile for your home and how it can save you both time and money.

Easy Installation
One of the most obvious perks of choosing synthetic roofing over its natural competitors is how easy it is to install. While many roofing materials can only be installed or replaced during ideal weather conditions, composite roof tiles can be put up whenever. Because of how malleable and strong synthetic roofing really is, it’s easily installed with a nail gun— even in the coldest of temperatures. Due to its extremely light weight, this material can be installed with no extra cost for additional structural support during construction. Many new homeowners don’t realize the inherent cost of choosing heavier roofing materials like slate and Spanish barrel tile, which almost always require additional work to a home prior to installation.

Long Lasting
Synthetic roofing is the ultimate install-it-and-forget-about-it solution for new homeowners. While many tile roofs such as slate or Spanish barrel tile require regular maintenance, composite roof tiles are made to last. Backed by a 50-year warranty, synthetic roofing is much more resistant to wind, water, and fire damage than its natural alternatives and far less likely to require maintenance after a storm. Maintaining a home is stressful and expensive but with composite roof tile, worrying about the quality of your roof doesn’t have to be another thing on the long list of upkeep.

Eco Friendly
Many new homeowners are often wondering what impact their construction has on the environment. While it may seem counterintuitive, synthetic roofing is actually one of the best solutions to building an eco-friendly home. Typically we think of “natural” materials being best, but in this case choosing natural materials (such as slate or shake tile) actually means depleting natural resources, and further depleting them and creating waste when they need to be replaced. Synthetic roofing is one of the most eco-friendly solutions on the market, as it allows buyers to use 100% recycled material just once, and leave it for the lifetime of the home.

Budget Friendly
​Because of its incredible longevity as well as its resistance to the elements, synthetic roofing is also extremely budget friendly for the money-savvy homeowner. While natural alternatives will almost always put projects over-budget (either because of arriving damaged or additional construction required for installation) synthetic roofing solutions remain on-budget and are easily installed. To have peace of mind for your home and save money, consider choosing composite roof tiles for your build.
