The opinion that the type of roofing materials is a determining factor in the calculation of the resistance structure is partially true, because there are factors with a great influence, which must be taken into account: static load (snow layer) and dynamic load (wind) acting on the roof.

The most durable roofing materials

Ceramic tiles are extremely durable, and represent a classic roofing material with a beautiful aspect that will highlight different building styles. The disadvantage is that we are talking about a heavy material that may require some extra work to reinforce the resistance structure. The building must be able to withstand the added weight.

Metal tiles will resist for a very long time (5 decades and even more!), they are easier than ceramic tiles and available in colors and designs that will integrate successfully in any architectural style. New metal roof systems also come with adequate insulation, so you will not have to worry about adding it separately.

Slate roofing is often used to protect luxury homes. It is an expensive material, very heavy, but probably the most durable (100-year warranty), and the natural appearance and the variety of types and models make this natural stone an unparalleled option for a roof.
