The choices available for a new roof are pretty extensive but most people ultimately are guided by what suits the style of the house and their budget. Here are some of the options:
The least expensive option is made of concrete and is one of the most basic designs. They are quite big, so little overlap is required. They're ideal for low-slope roofs that don't need a lot of cutting.
Tile roofs are usually recognised as a natural, rustic style. The shade of each tile is unique and varies from clay to clay. Every tile has a slightly different appearance owing to its color and form, which adds depth to the roof.
Natural slate from the UK has a higher cost, but there are less expensive imported versions available from Spain, Brazil, and China with a wide range of colorful options that may look fantastic on a contemporary home. There are also imitation-slate choices accessible that resemble real slate but are in fact thin concrete tiles constructed of fiber-cement and reconstituted slate for less money.
Zinc and copper are the most frequently used materials for sheet metal roofs. Lead is used for flashing around chimneys and roof junctions, while steel roof tiles are a combination of a conventional tile but composed of metal. Steel roof tiles are an excellent alternative to traditional concrete or clay tile or slate in windy areas.
Concrete, or clay are common materials for walk-in tubs. These may be made of either concrete or clay in the East of England and a neutral tile in other areas.
