Comment choisir un matériau de toiture pour votre nouveau cabanon
Le système de toiture que vous choisissez pour votre cabanon contribue à son attrait général et est également essentiel pour protéger le contenu intérieur des dommages causés par les éléments. Dans cet article, nous discuterons des matériaux de toiture les plus couramment utilisés pour les toits de cabanons. Chacun diffère par son prix, ses exigences d’entretien et son apparence, de sorte que votre choix doit être déterminé par lequel de ces facteurs est le plus important pour vous.
Three-tab shingles. The standard three-tab asphalt shingle is an inexpensive option for a shed roof. These shingles are easy to install, which makes them one of the best do-it-yourself roofing options, and typically include warranty coverage of up to 30 years. However, the flat look of three-tab shingles may not coordinate with the architectural shingles commonly found on houses.
Architectural shingles. Architectural shingles feature two or more layers of asphalt laminated together. They are heavier than three-tab shingles and can carry lifetime warranties. Architectural shingles bring a great depth of color and texture to a roof, which is why they are commonly used on residential structures. They are more expensive than three-tab shingles but have a longer lifespan.
Cedar shakes. Cedar naturally resists insects and UV damage, and can last for up to 35 years with proper maintenance. Its traditional, upscale appearance is appealing to many homeowners. The cost of wood shakes is roughly double that of architectural asphalt shingles.
Metal. A metal roof is durable, lightweight and lasts longer than shingles and shakes. Metal roofing systems won't rust and are extremely resistant to the elements. In laboratory tests, high-quality metal will remain watertight even during wind-driven rain of over 110 miles per hour. The initial cost of a metal roof is high, but many systems are warranted for 50 years or more.
