What Roof Material Is Most Durable and Long Lasting?

As a homeowner, you want your roof to last you through any weather-related events and environmental conditions that Mother Nature throws at you. However, to ensure your roof enjoys a long lifespan, you have to choose the right roof material, preferably one that is dependable, durable, and made of quality materials. Here are three high-quality roofing materials that are both durable and long-lasting.

The Best Roof Materials for Your Home

• Clay and Concrete Tile – These roof tiles are known for their beauty and are historically seen in Spanish and Mediterranean architecture. Strong and long-lasting, clay and concrete tile can last for a minimum of 50 years and hold up for as long as 100 years if professionally installed and well maintained. However, concrete tile will last longer than clay because of the advances in concrete tile technology that has made the material lighter and tougher.
  
• Metal – Extremely strong, metal roofs have a high-quality finish that gives them their long-lasting elegance. On average, the lifespan of metal roofing is anywhere between 40–70 years, with no fading and little surface decay. Mold, mildew, and rot-resistant, metal roofs fare well in inclement weather and require less maintenance than other roofing materials. There are four different types of metals to choose from: Aluminum, Steel, Copper, and Zinc. Copper roofs have been known to last up to 100 years and are a quieter option than the rest.
  
• Slate – Slate is one of the oldest and most expensive roofing materials because of its sustainability, high-quality, and durability. Slate roofs have to be cut and carefully installed, or else the slate tiles can crack under a person’s weight. Surpassing other roof materials in longevity, slate roofs can last up to 150 years, are resistant to water and fire damage, and do not deteriorate.
